IndiGo issues travel advisory after airspace closure, offers rescheduling and refunds to passengers

IndiGo airlines on Friday issued a travel advisory for passengers and offered options for rescheduling and refunds after Pakistan closed its airspace to Indian flights.

“Due to the airspace closure by Pakistan, a few of our international flights continue to be impacted. Our teams are working diligently to assess the situation and assist impacted customers with the best possible alternatives,” the airline said in its travel advisory.

“This sudden announcement is beyond our control, and we sincerely regret the disruption it may have caused to your travel plans. If your flight is impacted, we encourage you to visit our website to explore flexible rebooking options or claim a refund as per your preference,” the airline added.

As many as 26 people were killed in a terrorist attack on tourists in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, on April 22.

The incident has sparked nationwide outrage, with widespread protests erupting across the country, demanding stricter action against Pakistan over the Pahalgam attack.

Following the terror attack, the central government announced several diplomatic measures, including the closure of the Integrated Check Post (ICP) at Attari, the suspension of the SAARC Visa Exemption Scheme (SVES) for Pakistani nationals—giving them 40 hours to return to their country—and a reduction in the number of officers in the High Commissions on both sides.

India has also suspended the Indus Waters Treaty, signed in 1960, in response to the Pahalgam attack.
