NEW DELHI : India’s largest domestic airline IndiGo on Friday evening said that it will reduce capacity on domestic routes on 22 March, following Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s appeal to citizens to stay at home on Sunday in an attempt to contain the spread of Covid-19 pandemic.
IndiGo has reduced its domestic schedule to match market demand over the next few weeks, the airline said in a statement on Friday evening.
“On Sunday 22nd March, in line with the Janata Curfew announced by the Prime Minister on 19th March, the airline will be operating approximately 60% of its normal domestic schedule, in order to accommodate those with urgent travel requirements on that day,” the airline said adding that it is trimming about 25% of its domestic operations.
