Indian airline IndiGo has cancelled all flights to and from Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam and Madinah until October 17 due to the evolving security situation in Saudi Arabia.
In an advisory issued on today, the airline said the cancellations would remain in effect until the specified date as it continues to monitor developments.
Passengers have been advised to check their flight status before leaving for the airport. IndiGo said updates would be sent to customers through the contact details provided during booking.
