IndiGo 'prudently' resumes Middle East flights as Gulf airspace reopens amid tensions

IndiGo Airlines has announced the gradual resumption of its operations in the Middle East, following the reopening of airspace in Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait.

The airline had earlier suspended flights across the region in response to escalating tensions in the Middle East.

"As airports across the Middle East gradually reopen, we are prudently and progressively resuming operations on these routes," IndiGo stated in a travel advisory on Tuesday. "We continue to monitor the situation closely and are fully considering the safest available flight paths to ensure secure and seamless travel."
