Those who used to catch the daily Indigo flight schedule from Mumbai and Delhi to Singapore were in for a nasty surprise when the airline announced that it has taken a decision that will see suspension of these operations. There are various factors that have influenced this decision and considering the fact that the airline has always been popular for its people friendly services, the market knew that the factors were quite strong too.
Aviation circles in India were in for a shock when news began to seep in that the last Indigo flight to Singapore from the airports of Mumbai and Delhi is set to take off in February, a result of an announcement that saw the shifting of its operations in the form of daily flights from Chennai instead. One factor that many feel was a strong influence was the extreme competition that the Mumbai Singapore and the Delhi Singapore routes saw from Full Service Carriers, including Jet Airways.
Another factor that played havoc with the route was the availability of meals on the flight that lasts five and a half hours, something that Indigo Airlines could not offer owing to its low cost operations. Passengers who want to fly to Singapore on an Indigo flight however still have the option of taking the Chennai Singapore route that is all set to begin from the 1st of March, with assurance from the airline that it will also introduce flights on the Hyderabad Singapore route soon.
