IndiGo Faces Widespread Cancellations Amid Operational Issues, Normalization Expected Soon
IndiGo faces widespread cancellations due to pilot duty rule changes, with operations expected to normalize in 48 hours and fully stabilize by February 2026.
IndiGo Airlines has been grappling with widespread flight cancellations and delays, impacting thousands of passengers across India. The chaos stems from the new DGCA pilot duty rules, which the airline attributes to operational challenges. However, pilot federations have blamed IndiGo's lean staffing and delayed preparations for the disruptions. The cancellations have affected major airports, including Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, and Goa. Nearly 1,000 flights have been cancelled in the past few days, stranding many passengers.
