IndiGo Suspends Delhi-Baku Ticket Sales Due to Airspace Closure
IndiGo has stopped selling tickets for its flights from Delhi to Baku because the route has become very long.
This is because the planes now have to fly around Iran, which makes the trip take much longer.
One flight recently took over nine hours with a stop in Doha.
Before, it was a shorter flight.
People online are also asking others to avoid traveling to Azerbaijan and Turkey.
IndiGo closed bookings for its Delhi-Baku flight due to Iran airspace closure.
The airspace closure nearly doubled the flight duration.
The Delhi-Baku flight on Saturday took over nine and a half hours, with a technical stop in Doha.
Prior to the airspace closure, the Delhi-Baku flight was over five hours.
A boycott campaign against Azerbaijan and Turkey is ongoing on social media.
