The country’s largest airline IndiGo Wednesday cancelled 49 flights and announced curtailing around 30 flights daily for the rest of February as it looks to stabilise operations and adjust crew rosters. IndiGo, which has more than 41 per cent of domestic market share, said the cancellations represent 2 per cent of its flights and that operations would be normalised completely by March 31, 2019.
The budget carrier cancelled 49 flights on Wednesday and the same has been informed to aviation regulator DGCA. “The cancellations on February 13 were caused by several factors like anticipated weather conditions on February 14 and NOTAMS at various airports. This resulted in extended duty times which then made it necessary to re-roster our crew and optimise our operations,” it said in a statement.
