On the other hand, the ministry of civil aviation said that it has taken several measures of swift restoration of airline operations and passenger facilitation.

MoCA has taken decisive steps

The Ministry of Civil Aviation said in a statement that it has taken rapid and decisive steps to address the disruption caused by the recent IndiGo operational crisis and to ensure that passengers do not face continued inconvenience. Air travel operations across the country are stabilising at a fast pace.

All other domestic airlines are operating smoothly and at full capacity, while IndiGo’s performance has shown steady improvement today, with flight schedules moving back towards normal levels. IndiGo’s flight operations have increased from 706 on 05.12.25 to 1,565 on 06.12.25 and are likely to reach up to 1,650 by the end of today.

Airfare Regulation to Prevent Overcharging

In light of recent cancellations leading to a shift in demand and temporary surge in airfares, the Ministry intervened and introduced a cap on airfares with immediate effect.

This measure ensures fairness and affordability for travellers. Since the implementation of this order, fare levels across affected routes have moderated to acceptable limits. All airlines have been instructed to comply strictly with the revised fare structure.

MoCA’s control room continues to function as coordination hub

The MoCA’s 24×7 Control Room continues to function as an integrated coordination hub, overseeing flight operations, airport conditions, and passenger support requirements. Passenger calls are being promptly attended to and the necessary assistance is provided. Our teams remain deployed on the ground to supervise operational planning, crew rostering, and passenger handling standards, ensuring full compliance, it said.

The Ministry of Civil Aviation wishes to reassure the travelling public that passenger safety, convenience, and dignity remain the Government’s highest priorities. The aviation network is moving swiftly toward full normalcy, and all corrective measures will remain in place until operations stabilise entirely.
