DGCA orders IndiGo to cut flights by 5 pc; Minister promises strict action

NEW DELHI/MUMBAI: (Dec 9) Aviation regulator DGCA has ordered IndiGo to cut its planned flights by 5 per cent on high-capacity routes during winter, as it looked to bring some order at India's biggest airline, which cancelled thousands of flights nationwide after failing to plan for tighter safety regulations.

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), in the December 8 order, asked IndiGo to submit a revised schedule by Wednesday.

As part of the winter schedule for 2025-26, the airline has been operating over 2,200 flights per day.
