Big worry for IndiGo airlines as Competition Commission to look into flight cancellation cases, the airline will now face…

“Based on the initial assessment, the Commission has decided to proceed further in the matter in accordance with the provisions of the Competition Act, 2002,” CCI added.

IndiGo, which has a domestic market share of over 65 per cent, cancelled hundreds of flights starting from December 2, causing hardships to thousands of passengers.

While aviation safety regulator DGCA is probing the flight disruptions apart from stepping up the scrutiny of IndiGo’s operations, there are concerns in certain quarters on whether the airline’s dominant position could also have been a contributing factor.

A senior official, last week, told PTI that the CCI was internally examining whether IndiGo violated competition norms.

IndiGo chief executive Pieter Elbers has told employees that the airline has stabilised operations after a period of disruption, saying the worst was over and that the country’s largest airline was now focused on resilience, a root-cause review and rebuilding.
