Coronavirus outbreak: Vistara to cancel 54 flights in March, Air India, IndiGo suffer too
The coronavirus outbreak is giving airlines a run for their money in India as national carrier Air India and private carrier IndiGo have already made several temporary shut-downs in various areas.
These cut-downs, which the airline terms as adjustments, are for Bangkok and Singapore sectors for the month of March.
After this adjustment, a total of 54 Vistara flights will be cancelled for the month of March. Twenty flights will be cancelled between Delhi and Bangkok, 26 flights will be cancelled between Mumbai and Singapore and eight flights will be cancelled between Delhi and Singapore.
Talking to India Today an airline representative said, "The airline clarifies that there was no advisory or caution from the Singapore or Bangkok authorities and that weak demand was the only reason why the management decided to take the call for certain adjustments."
"Passengers who have booked in advance can either get a full refund without any cancellation charges or book on a later date," an airline representative said.
