Check IndiGo Airline Cancellations, Delays, Live Flight Updates and Real-Time Check-Status Latest News
Indigo Flight Cancellations Today News Live Updates: These measures will remain in place for the next 48 hours
Aviation watchdog DGCA has launched a probe into IndiGo's ongoing disruption after the airline cancelled over 100 flights and delayed many more on Wednesday. DGCA has summoned IndiGo to explain the reasons behind the situation and outline how it plans to bring cancellations and delays under control.
DGCA data shows IndiGo cancelled 1,232 flights in November, with 755 linked to crew shortages and new Flight Duty Time Limitation (FDTL) rules. Other cancellations were caused by airport and airspace restrictions, ATC failures, and various operational issues. The airlineās punctuality also dropped sharply to 67.7% in November from 84.1% in October.
While the regulator noted that several factors were outside IndiGoās direct control, it has advised the carrier to improve crew planning, coordination with ATC and airports, and streamline turnaround and disruption-management processes. The revised FDTL norms, implemented in July and tightened further from November 1 by capping night landings have increased staffing needs and added to operational challenges. (PTI)
Passengers at Bengaluruās Kempegowda International Airport faced major inconvenience on Wednesday as IndiGo cancelled over 42 flights, 22 arrivals and 20 departures citing technical glitches, adverse weather and updated crew-rostering rules.
With little clarity from the airline, stranded travellers crowded the terminal ālike a railway platformā, according to the PTI reports.
Some Bengaluru-based passengers returned home after waiting six to seven hours, while others remained stuck at the airport. Travel agents said there were no proper food or water arrangements for affected flyers, and many clients were calling in distress. (PTI)
IndiGo cancelled over 70 flights, including from Bengaluru and Mumbai airports, on Wednesday.
The countryās largest airline, which is known for its budget model, blamed the cancellations on crew shortages, sources told news agency PTI.
The carrier struggled to get the crew for operating its flights and IndiGo acknowledged that there have been cancellations and delays.
Passengers in Pune have raised strong complaints against IndiGo after a wave of flight delays and abrupt cancellations across multiple routes, including PuneāBhopal, PuneāBengaluru, PuneāKolkata and NagpurāPune.
Flyers took to X to report long waiting hours, confusing communication, lack of updates and no refreshments. Several users shared that delays stretched up to sixāseven hours, with some missing international connections and others left stranded overnight.
IndiGo said its network had been āsignificantly disruptedā over the past two days and apologised to passengers for the inconvenience. The airline noted that, to stabilise operations, it has introduced calibrated schedule adjustments that will remain in place for the next 48 hours. These steps, it said, are aimed at normalising services and gradually restoring punctuality across its network. The carrier added that its teams are working round the clock to support affected customers.
