IndiGo Chief Executive Officer Pieter Elbers on Thursday appeared before aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) for a meeting, amid the low-cost airline's ongoing efforts to address customer grievances and operational disruptions reported earlier in December.
The low-cost airline said it expects “to operate more than 1,950 flights with approximately 300,000 customers”.
The aviation regulator on Wednesday had directed Elbers to submit comprehensive data and updates regarding the low-cost airline's recent operational disruptions.
Meanwhile, the low-cost airline will offer travel vouchers worth Rs 10,000 to such severely impacted customers over the past few days, and those vouchers can be used for any future IndiGo journey for the next 12 months.
