INDIGO ON SUNDAY moved closer to restoring its regular schedule after six days of nationwide flight disruptions, saying it expected to operate more than 1,650 flights and reconnect 137 of its 138 destinations.

The airline, which usually runs over 2,300 daily flights, has now brought about 75% of its network back, IndiGo CEO Peter Elbers said in a statement on Sunday.

This, he said, is a significant improvement over nearly 30% recorded a day earlier.

The airline also advanced its expected stabilisation timeline, projecting that its network should settle by December 10, earlier than the December 10-15 window indicated previously.

THE IMPROVEMENT COMES on the heels of thousands of cancellations during the past week, which left passengers facing delays, lost baggage and mounting uncertainty.
