Airline IndiGo has extended the suspension of its flights to and from several Saudi cities, affecting travellers between Saudi Arabia and India well into next year. The cancellations cover Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam and Madinah.
Flights to and from Riyadh are cancelled through 31 October 2026, inclusive. Flights to and from Jeddah, Dammam and Madinah are cancelled through 27 October 2026, inclusive. The carrier has linked the move to the evolving regional security situation.
What affected passengers should know
Travellers who booked directly are being notified using the contact details listed on their bookings. Passengers who booked through travel agents or other travel partners should contact those agents directly for rebooking, refunds or further assistance.
No confirmed date for resuming services beyond the stated cancellation periods has been shared. Passengers are advised to check the status of their flight before heading to the airport to avoid unnecessary trips.
For the large community of Indian residents and workers across Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam and Madinah, the extended suspension is likely to affect travel plans for family visits, work and holidays. Those with upcoming bookings on these routes should review their options early and consider alternative carriers if needed, keeping documentation of any cancellations for refund or claim purposes.
