IndiGo on Wednesday said that it has offered Union Civil Aviation Ministry its “resources, aircraft and crew” to transport medicine, equipment and relief material from one part of the country to another.
As the Modi government has suspended all domestic and international passenger flight operations in India to curb the spread of coronavirus, IndiGo’s fleet of more than 250 planes is currently grounded.
IndiGo is the largest airline in India with around 47 per cent share in domestic passenger traffic, according to aviation regulator DGCA’s February data.
In a press statement, the airline said, “In an endeavour to support Government of India, IndiGo, India’s largest airline, today has offered its resources, aircraft and crew to assist the nation in the worldwide battle against coronavirus.”
