Budget carrier IndiGo on Friday said scheduled cancellations of 30 flights every day would continue till March 31 and denied that 130 flights were being cancelled on Friday.
IndiGo’s statement came a day after media reports said the airline would cancel 130 flights on Friday. The carrier also said that out of the listed 130 flights, it was operating 120 flights, “as scheduled, with more than 20,000 travelling passengers.”
In a statement, IndiGo said it was maintaining its position “regarding scheduled cancellations of 30 flights per day until March 31, 2019.” However, it said these cancellations do not include NOTAMs (Notice to Airmen) which are issued by various airports due to operational reasons. Generally, NOTAMs are issued to airline operations to inform them about airspace restrictions.
