IndiGo may lose some of its routes

Meanwhile, IndiGo may lose some of its routes to rival airlines during the winter schedule as Union Civil Aviation Minister K Rammohan Naidu stated that the government will "definitely" cut IndiGo flight slots amid ongoing disruptions, according to a report by news agency PTI.

"We will definitely reduce the number of routes, which are in IndiGo's (winter) schedule. The order to this effect will be issued. This will be a kind of penalty on the airline as they will not be able to fly on those (curtailed) routes," Naidu told DD News on Monday. Naidu added that the withdrawn routes will be reassigned to other carriers and restored to IndiGo once the airline proves it can operate them reliably.
