Akasa Air extends Saudi flight suspension
Akasa Air has extended its suspension of flights to and from Saudi Arabia until November 10 for Jeddah and until November 30 for Riyadh, citing a careful evaluation of the evolving security situation in the country. This decision, made public on October 23 via a post on X, followed a thorough assessment of the safety environment in Saudi Arabia.
The airline will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide necessary updates. Passengers can either request a full refund, credited to their original payment source within seven days, or reschedule their travel without additional charges. Those who booked through travel partners should reach out to them directly for assistance.
The airline emphasizes the safety and well-being of passengers and crew as its top priority. This move follows a series of attacks targeting civilian and critical infrastructure in the region, with Indian diplomatic missions actively coordinating with airlines and tour operators to help stranded Indian pilgrims return to India.
