Attention flyers! Indigo issues advisory as Iran launches missiles on US base in Qatar; Etihad says disruptions likely

Israel-Iran conflict: Indigo issues travel advisory for Middle-East passengers after Iran launches missiles on US base in Qatar

Amid Iran's attack on US bases in Qatar and Iraq, Indigo Airlines on Monday issued an advisory for passengers stating some of the flights may experience delays or diversions.

Indigo took to X and wrote, "In view of the evolving situation in the Middle East, some of our flights may experience delays or diversions. These adjustments are being made to ensure operations remain within safe and compliant airspace.

"We recommend checking your flight status regularly. If your flight is impacted, alternate options can be easily explored through our website. We continue to monitor the situation closely in coordination with the relevant authorities. We appreciate your patience and understanding," Indigo concluded.

Apart from this, Abu Dhabi-based Etihad Airways says it is re-routing several flights on June 23 and June 24 in response to airspace restrictions in parts of the Middle East.

It wrote, "In view of the ongoing situation, the Indian community in Qatar is urged to be cautious and remain indoors. Please remain calm and follow local news, instructions, and guidance provided by Qatari authorities. The Embassy will also keep updating through our social media channels."

Iran has launched Operation 'Basharat al-Fath' ('Annunciation of Victory') against US military bases in retaliation to US' attacks in its three nuclear facilities, under ‘Operation Midnight Hammer’.
