New Delhi, Dec 9: IndiGo, that faces a row for its unnoticed flight cancellation and delays, will have to cut down its operations by 10 per cent.
The government on India on Tuesday decided it based on massive crisis sparked by its 2000-plus IndiGo flight cancellations in recent days. With IndiGo operating around 2,200 flights a day, a 10 per cent reduction will involve cancellation of more than 200 flights.
"The ministry considers it necessary to curtail the overall Indigo routes, which will help in stabilizing the airline's operations and lead to reduced cancellations.
"IndiGo has been instructed to comply with all the directives of the Ministry, including fare capping and passenger convenience measures without any exception," the post added.
"A curtailment of 10 per cent has been ordered. While abiding with it, Indigo will continue to cover all its destinations as before," Indigo said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
Civil Aviation Minister K Ram Mohan Naidu had told parliament today that the aviation watchdog DGCA has issued showcause notices to the IndiGo brass and started an investigation.
"Depending on the outcome, strict and appropriate action as empowered under the aircraft rules and Act will be taken," Naidu said.
