IndiGo Extends Cancellations in Central Asia as Air India Gears Up for Summer 2026

IndiGo has extended its flight cancellations to four Central Asian and Caucasus cities — Tbilisi (Georgia), Baku (Azerbaijan), Almaty (Kazakhstan), and Tashkent (Uzbekistan) — until March 28, 2026. The move comes amid ongoing airspace concerns around Iran, which continue to impact normal flight operations. IndiGo has assured passengers that safety remains its top priority, and travellers affected by the cancellations are advised to monitor flight updates and consider alternative travel plans if necessary.

At the same time, Air India is gearing up for the Summer 2026 travel season by increasing flight frequencies on major international routes and upgrading cabin interiors and services. Routes such as Delhi–Toronto, Delhi–Tokyo, and other key long-haul connections will see more frequent operations, while aircraft will feature enhanced Premium Economy and improved passenger amenities. These upgrades aim to make long-haul travel more comfortable and convenient, meeting the rising demand from Indian and international travellers alike.

These contrasting moves highlight the dynamic nature of international air travel in 2026 — with airlines navigating geopolitical challenges like airspace restrictions, while simultaneously expanding capacity and improving services to meet growing passenger demand. Passengers are advised to stay updated on airline advisories and plan their journeys accordingly.
