Massive Rise in Flight Cancellations to Azerbaijan and Turkey: Here’s How You Can Monitor Your Refund
Most Indian travelers have been cancelling their vacations to Azerbaijan and Turkey following reports that these nations stood by Pakistan amid increasing tensions between India and Pakistan. As a result of this, individuals are now shunning travel to these two nations.
One of the well-known travel websites reported on May 14, 2025, that reservations to Azerbaijan and Turkey have declined by 60%, and cancellations of flights have increased by 250% within one week. The site explained that Indian tourists are exhibiting strong emotions and avoiding visiting these nations out of solidarity with the country and the military.
Other travel portals also witnessed the same pattern. One has reported 22% cancellations to Turkey and 30% to Azerbaijan. Certain travel websites, such as Ixigo and Pickyourtrail, have even suspended new bookings to these nations.
If you too have cancelled your plans and are expecting money back, this is how you can track your flight refund status:
If you made your booking directly on the Air India website or mobile app:
To check your refund status, visit the customer support portal and click on ‘Status Check on Pending Refund’.
If you booked using a travel agent or other travel website:
You have to approach that travel agent or travel website to get the status of your refund.
If you made your booking at an Air India office:
Go to the same office where you have reserved your ticket to verify your refund status.
With increasing numbers of people cancelling vacations to Turkey and Azerbaijan, tourists are asked to take refund guidelines cautiously and keep in contact with airlines or travel agents to keep informed.
