Air India and Air India Express Extend Flight Suspensions to Saudi Arabia Amid Regional Situation
Air India and Air India Express have announced an extension of flight cancellations to several cities in Saudi Arabia. Flights connecting Riyadh and Dammam will remain suspended until November 30, 2026, while services to Jeddah are canceled until November 21, 2026. This decision, made on Friday, November 13, 2026, is attributed to the 'prevailing situation in the region.'

Passengers holding confirmed bookings issued on or before November 10, 2026, for travel during the affected periods are eligible for a complimentary reschedule, subject to availability, or a full refund upon cancellation. The airlines have specified that for Riyadh and Dammam, travel dates up to November 30 are covered, and for Jeddah, travel dates up to November 21 are included in these provisions.
