Taking to X (formerly Twitter), ixigo co-founder and CEO Aloke Bajpai declared the company’s decision with a sharp message: “Enough is enough. We cannot turn a blind eye while lives are being lost. We’ve decided to stop all flight and hotel bookings to Turkey, China, and Azerbaijan on ixigo.”
This move comes in the wake of official statements from the governments of these countries. Turkey’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a note on social media expressing alarm over India’s recent military action, suggesting it could trigger a wider conflict. The statement condemned the strike, called for calm, and echoed Pakistan’s request for an investigation into a terror incident from April.
