IndiGo Flight Schedule Cut by DGCA

The India — Directorate General of Civil Aviation (India) (DGCA) initially directed IndiGo to reduce its flight operations by 5% across sectors, later doubling the curtailment to 10%, due to the airline's failure to efficiently operate its winter schedule. IndiGo recorded 951 cancellations in November 2025 and operated fewer aircraft than approved. Union Civil Aviation Minister Kinjarapu Rammohan Naidu addressed the issue in Parliament and confirmed the government's decision, stating that some of IndiGo's routes might be reassigned to smaller carriers. IndiGo CEO Pieter Elbers was summoned to the ministry to provide updates. The disruptions were attributed to technical glitches, schedule changes, adverse weather, and the implementation of updated crew rostering rules.
