IndiGo to end Chennai–Réunion flights on October 22
IndiGo will halt its Chennai–Réunion service on October 22 after reducing frequency from three to two weekly flights. The exit adds to pressure on Chennai’s international network, where scheduled one-way capacity was down 12.7% year on year in August.
IndiGo will suspend Chennai-Reunion flights from October 22 amid market and operating pressures, further reducing Chennai international connectivity. Chennai’s international flight capacity is down 12.7% year-on-year, while Air India plans to restart Chennai-Singapore service in September.
Why this matters
The route exit contrasts with IndiGo’s recent push to shift growth overseas through long-haul routes, MRO plans and a 600-aircraft fleet, alongside its ₹110,000 crore borrowing-limit proposal for fleet expansion.
