Aviation safety regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation on Tuesday said it has reduced IndiGo's flight schedule by 5 per cent, following large-scale flight disruptions since December 1, 2025.
   
The order to this effect was issued by the DGCA on Tuesday.
 
The flights have been cut across sectors, particularly on high-demand, high-frequency routes, according to the statement.
 
IndiGo has also been directed to submit a revised schedule to the DGCA by 5 pm, Wednesday, it added.
 
The DGCA order follows the Civil Aviation Minister's statement on Monday that the government will reduce the number of routes IndiGo is operating under the ongoing winter schedule.
 
As part of the winter schedule for 2025-26, the airline has been operating over 2,200 flights per day. -- PTI
