According to Reuters, Turkey and Azerbaijan, popular budget holiday destinations for Indians, issued statements backing Pakistan after India s strikes.

"Bookings for Azerbaijan and Turkey decreasing by 60% (over the last week) while cancellations have surged by 250% during the same period," a spokesperson for MakeMyTrip said.

EaseMyTrip s Chief Executive Officer, Rikant Pittie, said the platform had seen a 22% rise in cancellations for Turkey and 30% for Azerbaijan "due to recent geopolitical tensions".

Travellers had switched to Georgia, Serbia, Greece, Thailand and Vietnam, he added.

Another ticketing platform, ixigo, earlier said in a post on X, that it would be suspending flight and hotel bookings for Turkey, Azerbaijan and China.

EaseMyTrip s founder and chairman Nishant Pitti said in a post on X that 287,000 Indians visited Turkey last year and 243,000 visited Azerbaijan.

"When these nations openly support Pakistan, should we fuel their tourism and their economies?" Pitti said.

During the night between May 6 and 7, India launched cowardly attacks in Pakistan by flouting ceasefire agreement.

In retaliation, Pakistan shot down six Indian aircrafts including Rafale jets. Later, in response to unprovoked Indian aggression, Pakistan conducted operation ‘Bunyan um Marsoos,’ and destroyed Indian military installations.

A fragile ceasefire was holding between India and Pakistan on Sunday, after hours of overnight fighting between the nuclear-armed neighbours, as U.S. President Donald Trump said he will work to provide a solution regarding Kashmir.
