New Delhi - According to IndiGo, these are purely temporary and precautionary measures.
Similarly, Air India has cancelled its flight to Shanghai from January 31 to February 14.
At present, Air India operates flights to Shanghai and Hong Kong.
Currently, IndiGo operates four services to China and one to Hong Kong. IndiGo's flights connect New Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai and Bangalore to destinations in China and Hong Kong.
"Due to China travel restrictions, we have seen a high number of cancellations from China on our Delhi-Chengdu route and vice-a-versa," IndiGo said in a statement.
"Therefore, we are suspending our flights between Delhi and Chengdu from February 1, 2020 until February 20, 2020. We are also suspending our Bengaluru-Hong Kong flight effective February 1, 2020."
According to IndiGo, these are purely temporary and precautionary measures.
"We understand that these measures will cause inconvenience to our customers and we will be refunding the full amount to the impacted passengers," the airline said. "We are in close touch with the relevant government authorities and we thank them and our partners in China for all the help and support that they have extended so far."
Besides, the airline said that for now it will continue to operate the Kolkata-Guangzhou flight, which will be monitored on a daily basis.
"And for our operating crew, we are ensuring that they return to India on the inbound flights without any layover in China," IndiGo said.
Health ministry in its advisory has suggested to carry out only essential travel to China.
