DGCA cuts IndiGo flights by 5%: Expect higher fares, fewer choices

• DGCA ordered IndiGo to reduce its flight schedule by 5% and submit a revised schedule by December 10.
• The action was taken because IndiGo failed to operate its approved number of flights in November due to insufficient aircraft, causing frequent cancellations and passenger inconvenience.
• Passengers may experience fewer flights, higher ticket prices, difficulty with last-minute bookings, and potential changes to pre-booked flights.
• The DGCA's decision aims to ensure IndiGo schedules only flights it can operate, improving reliability for passengers, and is not related to safety concerns.

Why It Matters: Expect fewer IndiGo flights, higher prices, and potential travel disruptions.
