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.
