#ImportantUpdate

In compliance with the Ministry of Civil Aviation's (MoCA) directive issued on the evening of 6 December regarding the capping of Economy Class base fares, Air India Group commenced the rollout of the new prescribed fares across its reservation systems immediately. Air India Express completed the implementation across its systems, while Air India continues to progressively apply the fare caps, which will be fully effective in the next few hours.

As the process involves third-party system dependencies, a phased rollout is required to ensure accuracy and stability without disrupting guest bookings.

Guests who may have booked Air India flights in Economy Class during the transition period, at base fares above the prescribed caps, are entitled to refunds of the differential amounts.

#WATCH | Gurugram, Haryana | On the IndiGo flight disruptions, IndiGo CEO Pieter Elbers says, "... In my earlier messages, I conveyed that we would be rebooting the system on Friday, take a significant number of cancellations and start afresh on Saturday. That has worked well by operating some 1,500 flights yesterday as compared to only 700ish on Friday. Also, we have been able to execute the cancellations at an earlier stage, so customers don't show up at the airport in case their flights are being cancelled... Today, we realised further improvements of the system in order to reach around 1,650 flights... Today's OTP is projected at around 75%, significantly up from 30% yesterday. The network coverage has been restored with 137 stations operated. Also for our customers, all processes around refunds, luggage, and rebooking are in full swing, and we're reducing the backlog as we go forward..."
