IndiGo Extends Flight Suspensions to Tbilisi, Almaty, Baku, Tashkent Amid Iran Tensions

• IndiGo has extended the suspension of flights to Tbilisi, Almaty, Baku, and Tashkent until February 11.
• The decision is a "cautious and proactive approach" due to escalating tensions in Iran, prioritizing passenger and crew safety.
• Flights to these cities typically pass through Iranian airspace, which IndiGo is currently avoiding.
• The airline's A320neo aircraft lack the range for significantly longer alternative routes.
• Unrest in Iran, stemming from currency devaluation and protests, has led to a violent crackdown and heightened US tensions.
