Meanwhile, IndiGo may lose some routes to other domestic airlines in the current winter schedule. Aviation Minister K. Ram Mohan Naidu said that the government will definitely reduce the slots of IndiGo. The Rahul Bhatia-led airline operates over 2,200 flights daily from over 90 domestic and 40 international destinations. “We will definitely reduce the number of routes in IndiGo’s (winter) schedule,” Naidu said on Monday. An order will be issued in this regard. This will be a kind of penalty for the airline as they will not be able to fly on those (reduced) routes.

He said that the routes of IndiGo which will be reduced from the time-table will be given to other airlines. He also said that they would be given back to IndiGo once the airline shows the capability to operate them. The Gurugram-based airline handles more than 65 per cent of India’s total domestic traffic. The airline had canceled more than 560 flights from just six metro airports on Monday.
