Grounding of aircraft won’t hit services: Jayant Sinha
Context
Indigo and GoAir cancellations of close to 630 domestic flights this month
Backdrop
Recently some concerns had been raised in the media regarding grounding of aircraft with specified neo engines and resultant cancellations of flights
Government’s response
Government stated that
- The capacity impacted by this measure, which has been done to ensure safety in the sky, impacts only a small proportion (1-2%) of the overall capacity in the system
- The 1-2% capacity impact on the system is small in the light of the industry adding capacity at 20% year-on-year
