Government cuts 5% of IndiGo flights and reassigns them to other airlines

IndiGo has been ordered by DGCA to cut 5% of its flight schedule, with about 110 daily flights likely to be reassigned to other airlines as the government prepares strong action following mass cancellations since December 2. Officials are considering further incremental cuts if disruptions continue, amid rising public anger over one of India’s worst aviation crises.

“IndiGo will submit a truncated schedule cancelling 5% from their total flights by today evening,” a senior government official told ET.
