IndiGo, India’s largest carrier by fleet and market share, recently announced the cancellation of flights to Manchester and the return of one of its six Dreamliner aircraft at the end of August. This comes on the back of Air India making large-scale cancellations starting June 01. IndiGo, which is weathering June, is cancelling additional flights from July 01, as per the flight schedule change publication Aero Routes.
The massive cancellations come amidst the likelihood of the West Asia peace plan falling apart and Iran and the USA engaging in an exchange of blows again. The July to September quarter (Q2-FY27) is traditionally a weak quarter in India with monsoons in the country and the restart of the academic session of schools.
Most of these flights had sustained the seasonality in the past, largely due to the MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions) market. With the appeal from the Prime Minister to not travel abroad for a year in view of foreign currency conservation, large corporations have publicly stated that they would be reducing travel and curtailing avoidable travel, shifting to online tools instead.
IndiGo has announced temporary adjustments to a limited segment of its international network amid softer demand expectations in the upcoming quarter and a challenging cost environment, the airline said in a press release. The carrier will temporarily suspend operations to Langkawi, Krabi, Ho Chi Minh City, Hong Kong and Shanghai from July 1, 2026, and Siem Reap from July 3, 2026, until September 30, 2026. Bookings for these routes will resume from October 1, 2026, though IndiGo said it is prepared to reinstate services earlier if market conditions improve.
