Domestic Flights Summer Schedule Update

With the operational dates for the delayed Greater Noida and Navi Mumbai airports still up in the air, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has announced a 5% increase in domestic flights for the summer of 2025, without accounting for these upcoming hubs. A revision is expected once the new airports become operational, anticipated within the same season.

Key Highlights: The DGCA has approved 25,610 domestic departures per week from 129 airports, marking a 5.5% increase from last summer. New airports like Ambikapur and Datia are on the list, while Azamgarh and Rupsi airports see suspended operations.

Airline Capacity Changes

Among the major players, the Air India Group leads with a significant capacity increase, while IndiGo sees a modest rise. In contrast, Alliance Air and SpiceJet are scaling back their operations.

Remember, the approved schedule sets the maximum potential flights; actual numbers may vary based on demand and financial factors.
