IndiGo to reduce 30 flights a day until March-end

Updated : February 14, 2019 06:54 AM IST

The airline also informed the aviation regulator that it has cancelled 49 flights on February 13 with one to two days prior notice in order to re-accommodate passengers on flights.

According to IndiGo, the cancellations on February 13 were caused by several factors like anticipated weather conditions on February 14 and NOTAMS (Notice to Airmen) at various airports.

Budget passenger carrier IndiGo on Wednesday has informed Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) that it will reduce 30 flights per day until March-end.

"As a proactive measure, IndiGo has decided to continue its curtailment until the end of March. This measure has already been implemented and passengers informed. These medium-term cancellations have been made to minimize the impact on passengers as alternative travel options have been offered well in advance," the airline said in a statement.

The airline also informed the aviation regulator that it has cancelled 49 flights on February 13 with one to two days prior notice in order to re-accommodate passengers on flights at a similar time as booked.

According to IndiGo, the cancellations on February 13 were caused by several factors like anticipated weather conditions on February 14 and NOTAMS (Notice to Airmen) at various airports.

On Tuesday, IndiGo said that it is "adjusting" some flight operations to deal with expected weather-related disruptions in the coming days.

"IndiGo is slightly adjusting its flight schedule in the coming days by approximately 30 flights per day," the airline said in a statement on Tuesday.

At present, IndiGo, with its fleet of over 200 aircraft, offers over 1,300 daily flights and connects 52 domestic and 16 international destinations.

However, Indigo has been facing several instances of disruption in services over the past week. Earlier this week, a Hyderabad-Lucknow Indigo flight was delayed for over six hours affecting over 180 passengers after the pilot didn’t show up for duty. Six hours later, Indigo brought in a pilot who had had an early flight to catch to Doha.

On Tuesday, a Bangalore-Bangkok flight with 129 passengers, leaving from Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru had to make an emergency landing at the Yangon International Airport in Myanmar after the flight reported an oil pressure warning in one of its engines.
