New Delhi: New Delhi, December 10: IndiGo has sharply revised its Q3 FY26 capacity and revenue outlook after a week of severe operational disruptions that led to the cancellation of around 4,500 flights, the airline said in a regulatory disclosure.
The disruptions, which occurred in the first week of December, resulted in significant revenue loss and additional expenditure on passenger support services, the company said.
DGCA Orders 10% Cut in Winter Schedule
On December 9, the aviation regulator DGCA directed IndiGo to reduce its scheduled domestic winter operations by 10%, a move that will impact the airline’s capacity guidance not only for Q3 FY26, but also for Q4 FY26 and the full year FY26. IndiGo said it is complying with the order and will issue updated guidance for Q4 and FY26 later.
Revised Outlook for Q3 FY26
IndiGo said it expects a downward moderation to its earlier guidance issued on November 4, 2025, citing the dual impact of cancellations and regulatory curtailment.
The airline said it is closely monitoring the revenue environment and added that the overall financial impact cannot yet be quantified.
Operations Fully Compliant, Says Airline
IndiGo reiterated that its operations remain fully compliant with FDTL norms and safety regulations, responding to concerns arising from the recent disruptions. “We regret this disruption and apologise sincerely to all our customers,” the airline said, urging passengers to check flight status before heading to the airport.
