The Centre has asked for a 10 per cent cut in planned IndiGo flights to help restore order at the country’s biggest airline that cancelled thousands of flights nationwide after failing to plan for tighter safety regulations.

Union Civil Aviation Minister K Ram Mohan Naidu today said the airline management was summoned to the ministry to provide an update.

Posting a picture of IndiGo CEO Pieter Elbers, sitting with folded hands in front of him, Naidu, in a post on X, said, "The ministry considers it necessary to curtail the overall IndiGo routes, which will help in stabilising the airline's operations and lead to reduced cancellations. A curtailment of 10 per cent has been ordered. While abiding by it, IndiGo will continue to cover all its destinations as before."
