In response to the escalating geopolitical tensions affecting key domestic and international travel corridors, Cox & Kings, India’s oldest and most trusted travel brand, has issued a travel advisory urging travellers to remain cautious, informed, and adaptable in their planning.
Heightened regional instability and recent airspace restrictions have led to operational disruptions and security concerns across several popular travel routes. Recognizing the evolving situation, Karan Agarwal, Director at Cox & Kings, emphasized the importance of strategic travel planning grounded in real-time intelligence and safety awareness.
“In moments like these, when geopolitical tensions are high, travellers need to balance their desire to explore with an understanding of the broader landscape. It’s not just about where you go, but when and how,” said Agarwal.
On the domestic front, Cox & Kings is advising travellers to reconsider non-essential trips to sensitive regions such as Kashmir, parts of Jammu, Leh, and Amritsar, which are typically the first to experience disruptions during periods of elevated tension.
Internationally, the company notes that routes to Europe, North America, and Central Asia are experiencing longer flight durations due to airspace rerouting around Pakistan. Popular destinations including London, Frankfurt, Toronto, and even transit points like Dubai, are subject to potential delays and schedule changes.
Furthermore, the advisory highlights the need for caution when travelling to regions affected by ongoing conflicts or instability, including parts of the Middle East, Israel, and Afghanistan.
“It’s not about cancelling plans out of fear, but about timing them with intelligence and awareness,” added Agarwal. “Travel has always been a mirror of the times. Today, smart travel means staying informed, being flexible, and placing safety and context above spontaneity.”
Cox & Kings continues to monitor the global travel landscape closely and remains committed to supporting travellers with timely information and expert guidance.
