IndiGo Flight Disruptions Continue for Fifth Day, Affecting Thousands
New Delhi – IndiGo, India’s largest airline, is facing severe operational disruptions for the fifth consecutive day, leading to widespread cancellations and delays of domestic flights. Thousands of passengers are impacted, with concerns rising over extended wait times and increased travel expenses.
The airline attributed the chaos to an unanticipated shortage of pilots stemming from planning deficiencies. IndiGo operates approximately 2,300 flights daily with a fleet of over 400 aircraft.
On Friday, IndiGo issued an apology for the ongoing crisis and pledged to refund passengers affected by the cancellations. However, operational disruptions are expected to continue for several more days, and the authorities are closely monitoring the situation. The company’s punctuality has been severely affected by the issue.
