In an official release, the airline said, “Demonstrating continuous operational normalisation and stability consecutively for the last five days, IndiGo is set to operate over 2,050 flights today, as per its revised schedule, scaled down in line with government directive.”
It added, “Yesterday, we operated over 2,050 flights with only two cancellations, due to technical issues. All the affected customers were accommodated in alternate flights immediately,” it said.
Meanwhile, continuing with its culture of concealing as much information as possible, Indigo refused to share details of the cancelled flights.
The statement said that all its 138 operational destinations have been connected presently with its on-time performance consistently normal as per the airline’s standards.
“We continue to uphold the integrity of our revised flight schedule and strongly urge our passengers not to be misled by any false information about mass cancellations across our network.
