IndiGo set to fly again from May 4

IndiGo on Tuesday announced that it will resume its operations from May 4, in a phased manner. The nationwide lockdown is scheduled to end on May 3.

To begin with, it will start with domestic operations only, and international routes will be added later on.

“In its endeavour to reconnect critical air corridors post the lockdown, IndiGo will resume flight operations from May 4. Initially starting with a slightly curtailed capacity, the airline will increase the operating capacity over the subsequent months, also reopening selected international flights, depending on the existing international travel guidelines,” IndiGo said

Ronojoy Dutta, Chief Executive Officer, IndiGo said, “We will restart flight operations on vital corridors of air traffic from May 4. We will begin operations for domestic only and then gradually ramp it up further, to commence operations on some international routes as well. Our singular focus will be on ensuring the health of our customers and our employees.”

Dutta said for customers who are affected by the cancellations until May 3, the booking amount will be protected in the form of a credit shell under their PNR number, which can be used to make bookings for the same customer(s) on IndiGo’s website or mobile app valid for one year from the date of issuance.
