DGCA orders 10% cut in IndiGo’s Winter Schedule flight operations

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation, DGCA has directed IndiGo to reduce its Winter Schedule 2025 operations by 10 per cent across sectors, citing significant flight disruptions and the airline’s inability to efficiently operate the approved schedule.

The airline watchdog said in a notice that IndiGo was approved for 64 thousand 346 flights in November this year but it operated 59 thousand 438 flights and recorded 951 cancellations.

Despite being allowed a 6 percent schedule enhancement with 403 aircraft for the season, IndiGo deployed only 344 aircraft in November. The DGCA asked Indigo to submit a revised schedule by 5 PM today.
