Govt may cut IndiGo's winter ops after mess

NEW DELHI: The government is planning to curtail IndiGo's daily flight operations in the ongoing winter schedule in the wake of a major meltdown, officials aware of the matter said, on Monday, when the airline in its reply to a showcause notice by the aviation regulator attributed the mass cancellations to a "compounding effect of multiple factors".
