Akasa Air has suspended flights to and from Doha (Qatar), Riyadh (Saudi Arabia), and Kuwait City (Kuwait) until April 5, 2026. The decision comes as a precautionary measure due to escalating geopolitical tensions in West Asia.
The low-cost carrier is closely monitoring the situation and may revise operations based on real-time safety assessments.
Safety-First Approach
The airline has taken this step following airspace restrictions and disruptions caused by the regional conflict. Akasa Air continues limited operations on other routes it deems safe while prioritising passenger safety.
Passenger Support Measures
Affected passengers can opt for a full refund or reschedule their travel without any additional charges. The cancellation and rescheduling fee waiver is available for bookings to or from these cities until April 5, 2026.
Passengers are advised to check their flight status before heading to the airport and contact Akasa Air’s customer support for assistance.
Broader Impact
The ongoing West Asia crisis has led to widespread flight disruptions across many international carriers. Major Gulf hubs have been particularly affected due to shifting flight corridors and security concerns.
Akasa Air has stated that it will continue to update passengers as the situation evolves.
