IndiGo mass flight cancellations dent ATF sales by 4.1% in December
New Delhi, IndiGo’s widespread flight cancellations in early this month resulted in aviation turbine fuel (ATF) sales falling by over 4 per cent in the first fortnight of December, according to preliminary industry data on Tuesday.
Jet fuel or ATF demand had been consistently rising for the past two years as India’s aviation sector rebounded from the lows of the Covid pandemic-induced disruptions. But this trend changed when IndiGo saw mass flight cancellations in December as India’s largest airline struggled with new pilot duty-time rules, crew shortages, and winter weather disruptions like dense fog at major airports.
