IndiGo to cut 30 daily flights

IndiGo has cancelled around 175 flights over the past week and will curtail its schedule by 30 flights per day until March. The Indian airline began the cancellations following a hailstorm on February 9 in northern India had disrupted its flight schedule, however most local sources suggest that the cancellations are due, at least in part, to pilot shortages. “This has resulted in extended duty times which then made it necessary to re-roster our crew and optimise our operations,” it said in a notice.
