After multiple fog-induced disruptions, the operations of IndiGo Airlines are set to get back to normal mode by the weekend. Airline Chief Executive Officer Pieter Elbers said that the fog-related delays sharply came down this week and operations are set to return to normal. "...If you see, I am sure all of you have seen that...we had probably the worst fog in many years...Many of our stations in northern India were severely impacted by the fog situation...If northern India is under a blanket of deep fog, we are having a challenge," the Indigo CEO said.
"...I would expect that the cancellation (of flights) setting is completely back to normal, provided no more fog. But we can patrol a lot of things in life, but that, we can't. But it should be completely back to normal, I would say, by the weekend and in due course of next week, I do expect that our entire operation should be back to normal..., " he added.Milestone Alert!
