Overview
- Regulators have ordered roughly a 10% curtailment of IndiGo routes, with capacity to be temporarily reallocated to Air India, AI Express and Akasa.
- Air India says it can explore operating about 275 additional flights this month, while other carriers seek clarity on how long the curbs will last.
- A DGCA oversight effort now includes an eight-member FOI team and a separate four-member probe panel that visited IndiGo’s HQ to review manpower planning and FDTL compliance.
- Inspectors have flagged the operations control centre as a weak point, with IndiGo issuing two‑day pilot rosters and a senior expatriate manager reported to be under potential regulatory scrutiny.
- IndiGo reports about 90% normalisation and more than 2,000 daily flights, has warned of fog-related disruptions in Delhi, and has rolled out a one-time Plan B for fee-free rebooking or refunds with compensation estimated at over ₹500 crore.
