IndiGo is temporarily suspending flights to six destinations in South-East Asia and China due to high operating costs and soft demand, said the airline. As a part of its cost optimisation measures the airline is cutting flights to Hong Kong, Ho Chi Minh City, Krabi, Langkawi, Shanghai and Siem Reap. The suspension will remain in effect between July and September. IndiGo will resume bookings for all the impacted services starting October 1, it said on Thursday.The flight cuts come in the backdrop of weak fourth quarter results, which saw the airline slipping into the red. IndiGo posted a loss of ₹2,536 crore in Q4 FY26, weighed by rupee depreciation and low yields. Earlier, the airline also announced it is suspending its Manchester route and returning one wet-leased plane to Norwegian carrier Norse Atlantic. In a statement, the airline said it has managed to retain majority of its international operations of over 1,800 weekly international flights despite this realignment. “These measured changes are designed to align capacity with current market conditions and demand trends, while ensuring the airline maintains reliability and network integrity across its global destinations. The airline will continue to monitor the situation given the elevated operating costs and continued airspace restrictions,” it said. “These steps reflect the airline’s proactive approach to managing capacity responsibly and minimising inconvenience to customers, while maintaining readiness to respond quickly to favorable changes in the market conditions,” it added.
