The flight cancellations by IndiGo have a negative impact on the airline's stock price and reputation, as thousands of passengers are stranded and express anger. The event also highlights potential regulatory risks for IndiGo as the India — Directorate General of Civil Aviation (India) has launched an investigation.
IndiGo, India's largest airline, cancelled over 1,200 flights, stranding thousands of passengers across Indian airports. The disruptions, which began on Monday, are attributed to 'unforeseen operational challenges' including technical glitches, adverse weather conditions, and new crew rostering rules designed to enhance pilot and crew rest periods. The India — Directorate General of Civil Aviation (India), India's aviation watchdog, has launched an investigation and demanded that IndiGo submit plans to alleviate the interruptions and provide a detailed roadmap for crew recruitment. IndiGo has acknowledged that more cancellations are expected for the next 2-3 days and aims to fully restore operations by February 10. This event is a significant setback for IndiGo, which prides itself on punctuality, and follows a recent alert from Airbus for an urgent upgrade affecting 200 of IndiGo's planes.
