IndiGo's 10% Flight Cut: Only 2.35% Reduction, Rs 1,200-1,400 Cr Revenue Loss

• IndiGo's mandated 10% flight cut translates to only a 2.35% reduction in its planned winter schedule flights.
• This reduction is estimated to cause a revenue loss of Rs 1,200-1,400 crore for the airline.
• The civil aviation ministry imposed the cut after IndiGo experienced operational chaos, including over 4,000 cancellations in early December.
• Analysts forecast further profit losses and increased costs due to flight duty time limitations (FDTL) and currency depreciation.
• IndiGo may target low-occupancy flights or those on monopoly routes for cancellation, potentially impacting fares.

Why It Matters: IndiGo's minor flight cuts may still increase unique route fares for passengers.
