India’s largest airline, IndiGo, has announced a notable reduction in its ongoing capacity projections as a result of substantial flight cancellations across its network. Over the recent period, IndiGo has canceled approximately 4,500 flights, impacting both its scheduled services and passenger mobility.
The widespread cancellations have prompted the airline to revise its future operational guidance. IndiGo’s move comes amid efforts to stabilize operations and mitigate impact on passengers, although specific airports, routes, and the precise window for these disruptions were not detailed in the announcement.
