India’s largest domestic airline IndiGo will gradually ramp up operations and discontinue on-board meal services for a brief period after resuming services, chief executive officer Ronojoy Dutta said. All flights in India have been grounded at least till 14 April as part of the national lockdown to curb the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.
In a mail to IndiGo employees, Dutta said the airline will “run its coaches at a maximum load of 50% capacity”, adding the airline is looking to change many operating procedures to minimize costs. “We will be coming out with the new set of operating procedures soon.”
India is going through a three-week lockdown to contain the spread of covid-19. However, the central government could extend the lockdown further following requests from several state governments and experts.
