Air India, Air India Express extend Saudi Arabia flight suspension until Oct 24 amid Houthi strikes: What airline said

Air India and Air India Express have indefinitely suspended flights to and from Jeddah, Riyadh and Dammam in Saudi Arabia due to ongoing security concerns from Houthi rebel strikes. The airlines have also introduced a one-time opportunity for affected passengers to reschedule their bookings without charge, with eligible tickets needing to be rebooked by November 10.

Passengers can choose alternative destinations in West Asia, such as Dubai, Doha or Abu Dhabi, though they will need to arrange their own transportation and meet visa requirements. Air India has stated they will continue to monitor the situation and provide assistance to affected travelers, while IndiGo and Akasa Air have also temporarily halted flights to Saudi Arabia in light of the security crisis.
