IndiGo has extended the pause on its flights to four Saudi Arabian cities, so anyone holding a ticket to the Kingdom this month should check their booking. The airline announced the change in a travel advisory on 10 November.

Flights to and from Jeddah and Madinah will stay suspended until 21 November 2026, inclusive. Services to and from Riyadh and Dammam are suspended until 30 November, inclusive. The suspensions were already in force, and the airline has now pushed them further out. The pause has been extended repeatedly since mid-October, when it first ran until 17 October.
What IndiGo Is Offering Passengers
The airline says the decision followed a careful assessment of safety and security considerations. Affected customers are being contacted through the details they gave at the time of booking, and can choose re-accommodation, a refund or alternative arrangements. IndiGo added that the safety of its customers and crew remains its highest priority, and that it is monitoring the situation closely.
Why The Suspension Is Continuing
The extension comes amid heightened concern in the region, following attacks claimed by Yemen’s Houthi group against Saudi targets. On 8 November, Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Energy said an administrative building belonging to Saudi Aramco in Riyadh had been targeted in an attempted attack. Falling shrapnel caused limited damage, and no injuries or deaths were reported.
A Houthi military spokesperson also claimed six operations against Saudi facilities and military positions, including King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh. Those claims have not been independently verified.

What Travellers Should Do Now
Check Your Flight Status
Look up your flight before leaving for the airport. Suspension dates have shifted more than once, so last week’s information may already be out of date.
Keep Your Contact Details Current
IndiGo is reaching passengers through the phone number and email used at booking, so make sure both are correct. If your trip falls inside the suspension window, ask for a refund or a new arrangement rather than waiting for the dates to change again.
Anyone planning travel to Saudi Arabia before the end of November should build in some flexibility, whether that means a flexible ticket, a looser itinerary or a backup date. With the situation still moving, it is safest to treat every date above as the earliest possible restart, not a promise to resume flying on that day.
