IndiGo Cuts 130 Domestic Flights Amid DGCA Directives; Hyderabad Sees 34 Reductions

• IndiGo suspended approximately 130 domestic flights across 94 routes, reducing its daily schedule by about 10% following central government and DGCA directives.
• The airline is stabilizing operations at 2,200 flights per day (domestic + international), down from over 2,300, a 'new normal' expected until March 2026.
• Major flight reductions include Bengaluru (52), Hyderabad (34), Chennai (32), Kolkata (22), and Ahmedabad (22).
• Strategic cuts affected routes like Chennai–Madurai (8 to 3 flights) and cancelled sole services on Goa–Surat, Chennai–Durgapur.
