Due to the crisis in the Middle East, flights from India to Europe and America may be affected. Indian Airlines has made a big change. The worsening situation related to Iran in West Asia has had a direct impact on India’s international flights. Due to security reasons, flying over Iran is considered risky. Therefore, Indian Airlines has changed its routes and timings. Regarding this, many big airlines including Air India, Indigo have issued advisories for passengers.
Indigo has canceled many flights on Sunday
According to Indigo, on January 25, 2026, all flights to and from Delhi, Tbilisi and Mumbai to Almaty have been cancelled. Passengers have been given the option to change their tickets to another flight or get full refund. At the same time, on January 26, flights going to Tbilisi, Almaty, Baku and Tashkent can stop for a while in Doha on the way to refuel. This will happen because these flights are taking a long route by avoiding Iran’s airspace.
Air India has changed the route of many flights
Air India has also changed the routes of many of its international flights. Flights going to Europe, America and Central Asia are no longer flying over Iran, but are flying through other safe routes. Due to this, flights are taking more time. Flights have also been canceled on some routes where safe passage could not be found.
Air India has asked passengers to check their flight status before going to the airport. Usually, many flights from India to Europe, America and Central Asia pass over Iran, but in the current situation, airlines are avoiding that route. Due to this, there are delays at some places, at some places we have to stop for refueling and at some places flights have to be cancelled.
Airlines have appealed to the passengers to check the status of their flight from time to time, check the SMS and email alerts coming on their mobile and if necessary, use the option of rebooking or refund. The situation is being continuously monitored and there may be further changes.
