IndiGo Q3 Guidance: India's largest airline, IndiGo, announced on Wednesday, 10 December 2025, that although the overall financial impact from the flight cancellations cannot be determined at this stage, the firm is cutting its third-quarter (October to December) guidance.
In a BSE filing on 10 December, IndiGo said the airline is expecting a “downward moderation” from its earlier Q3 2025-26 guidance on a year-on-year (YoY) basis, amid country-wide flight cancellations.
“We continue to monitor the revenue environment, and the overall financial impact cannot be quantified at this stage. However, based on our current estimates, we expect a downward moderation to our earlier communicated Q3 2025-26 guidance on a year-over-year comparison basis,” IndiGo informed the stock exchanges through its filing.
IndiGo's revised Q3 guidance
IndiGo's revised passenger unit guidance for the October-December quarter of the financial year 2025-26 stood at high single-to early double-digit growth in ASKs, compared to its earlier projection of high-teens growth in ASKs, according to the official announcement.
The updated numbers are a revision of the Q3 guidance released on 4 November 2025 for the third quarter.
On capacity change terms, IndiGo's revised Q3 guidance predicts mid-single-digit downward moderation in the third quarter of the financial year 2025-26, compared with the company's earlier estimates of flattish to slight growth during the period.
“IndiGo remains committed to assisting our customers, addressing their queries and requests on a war footing. We would like to reiterate that all our operations are fully compliant with the relevant FDTL norms and safety regulations, as they have been throughout the last two decades,” the company informed the stock exchanges through its filing.
What's the current status of IndiGo's flights?
IndiGo had earlier announced that it would require until 10 February 2026 for operations to fully normalise. In an update on Wednesday, the budget carrier said that it had all hands on deck and that normalcy had been restored “earlier than expected”.
“All 65,000 IndiGo employees in various roles across the organization have come together to restore normalcy in our operations,” the airline said in its update, adding that CEO Pieter Elbers and his team were “leading from the front” to bring things back to normalcy.
Vikram Singh Mehta, the Chairman and Non-Executive Independent Director of IndiGo, also put out a message on Wednesday, apologising for the disruptions that left thousands of flyers stranded across India's airports.
He said that on Wednesday, IndiGo had operated 1,900 flights across all 138 destinations, adding that the airline's on-time performance had risen back up to “high levels”.
Passengers, however, are still advised to check their IndiGo flight status before departing for the airport. Flight status can be checked at: https://www.goindigo.in/check-flight-status.html
