Why has IndiGo suspended flights to and from Kuwait?

Earlier on June 5, IndiGo had issued a travel advisory stating that all flights operating to and from Kuwait would remain suspended until further notice due to the continued closure of Kuwaiti airspace and guidance from the Kuwaiti authorities.

In a post on X, the airline said it regretted the inconvenience caused to passengers and reiterated that the safety of customers and crew remains its highest priority.

IndiGo further stated that it is closely coordinating with relevant aviation authorities and continuously monitoring the situation to enable the resumption of services as soon as conditions permit.

Passengers were advised to check their flight status before heading to the airport, while the airline said its teams remain available to assist customers with travel-related queries during the disruption.

"Due to the continued closure of airspace over Kuwait and guidance received from Kuwait Authorities, all flights operating to and from Kuwait will remain suspended till further notice,” the post had read.

"We understand the impact this may have on your travel plans and sincerely regret the inconvenience caused. The safety of our customers and crew remains our highest priority. Our teams are closely coordinating with relevant aviation authorities and continuously monitoring the situation to facilitate the resumption of services as soon as conditions permit,” it had also said.
