Budget carrier IndiGo airlines is limiting its operations to Kolkata, Durgapur and Bagdogra from Delhi and Mumbai, to only Monday and Friday in line with the West Bengal government directives.
“The remaining flights on these six routes will be cancelled for the next three months. The limited capacity may lead to inflationary impact on the airfares on these routes,” the airline said in a late evening statement.
IndiGo said it is in the process of informing the affected passengers. Customers will have an option to choose alternate flights or claim a refund, it said.
The flight restrictions were among a fresh set of curbs announced by the state government on Sunday to contain the spread of Covid-19 amid a surge in cases.
