Air India, Air India Express extend Saudi flight suspension

Air India and Air India Express have temporarily suspended flights to and from Jeddah, Riyadh, and Dammam until October 24, 2026, due to the prevailing situation. The airlines have offered flexible rebooking options and refunds to assist passengers affected by the disruption. Passengers with confirmed bookings issued on or before October 15, 2026, for travel between October 9 and 25, are eligible for a one-time complimentary date change for travel up to November 10, subject to conditions.

Alternative departure or arrival points for passengers include several Gulf region airports, with the need to arrange their own transport and meet visa and entry requirements. Assistance with rebooking or refunds can be sought by contacting the airlines’ call centres or visiting their city booking offices in the Gulf region and India.
