IndiGo, India’s largest airline, is grappling with one of its most severe operational crises in recent years, with widespread flight delays and cancellations disrupting travel across the country for a second consecutive day.
Tata Group-owned Air India on Sunday announced the reinstatement of its codeshare agreement with fellow Star Alliance carrier, Air Canada, to offer more flight options for travellers and boost connectivity between India and Canada.
Starting Nov 16, 2025, IndiGo will operate direct flights between Bengaluru and Riyadh, expanding its network to Saudi Arabia.
