Amid the ongoing crisis, IndiGo said that it operated 1,800+ flights on Monday, up from 1,650 yesterday. The low-cost airline further added that "network is fully restored, 90% on-time performance across the network and all cancellations in today’s schedule were pre-notified yesterday."
Aviation safety regulator DGCA on Monday said it has received IndiGo's response to the show cause notice issued over the large-scale flight cancellations and will take enforcement action.
It also said that the airline is "profusely apologetic" and deeply regrets the inconvenience and hardship caused to customers following flight cancellations.
DGCA said it is in the process of examining the response, and enforcement action, as deemed appropriate, will be taken in due course.
The regulator had on Saturday issued show cause notices to IndiGo CEO Pieter Elbers and Accountable Manager Isidro Porqueras seeking explanations within 24 hours on the massive flight disruptions.
This was later extended to Monday, 6 pm, after the airline sought more time from the regulator.
