IndiGo said affected passengers were being notified through their registered contact details and would be offered ticket re-accommodation, refunds or alternative arrangements.
The airline added that it was closely monitoring developments and would issue further updates as required.
The suspension comes amid renewed hostilities involving Saudi Arabia and Yemen’s Houthi rebels following the collapse of a 2022 truce.
On November 8, Saudi Arabia’s Energy Ministry confirmed that an attempted attack targeted an administrative building belonging to Saudi Aramco in Riyadh. Falling shrapnel caused minor damage, but no injuries or fatalities were reported.
Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree claimed responsibility for six operations involving ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and drones.
He said targets included King Khalid International Airport, Aramco facilities in Riyadh and Khurais, Pumping Station No. 8 in Dawadmi, and Saudi military positions in Najran and Al-Jawf.
The airline said passenger and crew safety remained its highest priority.
