IndiGo CEO Pieter Elbers expects entire flight operations to come back to normal by weekend; calls passenger assaulting pilot incident unacceptable

Amid the ongoing flight disruptions due to foggy conditions at the country’s major airports, IndiGo Airlines’ Chief Executive Officer Pieter Elbers on Thursday (January 18) said that he expects the entire operation to come back to normal by the weekend and in due course of next week.

While speaking on the issue of fog-related disruptions in northern India, the IndiGo CEO called the blanket of deep fog in northern India a “challenge”.

“If you see, I am sure all of you have seen that we had probably the worst fog in many years. Many of our stations in northern India were severely impacted by the fog situation. If northern India is under a blanket of deep fog, we are having a challenge,” Elbers said.
