Govt orders 10% curtailment of Indigo routes as airline says 'operations reinstated across network'

The Aviation Ministry has ordered a 10% curtailment of IndiGo routes amid continued chaos over flight cancellations. The announcement came even as the beleaguered airline said it had finally reinstated operations across its network and vowed to fly nearly 1900 flights on Wednesday. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation had earlier instructed IndiGo to cut down its flight operations by 5% to ease passenger troubles.

“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. A curtailment of 10% has been ordered. While abiding with it, Indigo will continue to cover all its destinations as before,” announced Union Minister Ram Mohan Naidu Kinjarapu.
