The airline also said in a post on X that flights scheduled on January 26, 2026, to and from Tbilisi, Almaty, Baku, and Tashkent may experience brief halts at Doha for refueling.

It further stated that "IndiGo flights scheduled to operate on 26 January 2026 to and from Tbilisi, Almaty, Baku and Tashkent may take a brief halt, for refueling, at Doha".

"Please keep a tab on your flight status. We continue to closely monitor the situation and will share further updates. We appreciate your patience and understanding," said the airline.

Several airlines have rerouted, delayed or cancelled flights that traverse Iranian airspace, amid the geopolitical tensions.

Major international carriers, including Air France, KLM and Lufthansa, suspended or scaled back operations to Israel and key Gulf destinations on Saturday, citing security situation.

Meanwhile, the US has announced a new round of sanctions targeting what it described as Iran's "shadow fleet," as Washington moved to further restrict revenue streams it says are being used to repress the Iranian people and finance destabilising activities abroad.

The Treasury imposed sanctions on eight entities and nine vessels involved in transporting Iranian petroleum and petroleum products, including liquefied petroleum gas.
