IndiGo Extends Suspension of Almaty and Tashkent Flights to June 14

Operational constraints from Pakistan airspace closure disrupt IndiGo’s routes as India escalates military response with Operation Sindoor strikes.

IndiGo said that around 50 international routes operated by it will require longer sectors and hence may be subject to some slight schedule adjustments.

Overview

  • IndiGo has extended the suspension of its direct flights to Almaty and Tashkent until June 14, citing aircraft range limitations caused by ongoing airspace restrictions.
  • Pakistan closed its airspace to Indian airlines on April 24, forcing rerouted westbound flights that exceed the range of narrow-body aircraft like those in IndiGo's fleet.
  • India reciprocated by barring Pakistani carriers from its airspace on April 30, intensifying the aviation disruption between the two nations.
  • On May 8, India launched Operation Sindoor, targeting terror infrastructure and military assets in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir, including air defense systems in Lahore.
  • IndiGo has acknowledged that approximately 50 of its international routes require adjustments due to the extended flight paths, impacting scheduling and operations.
