Event Summary

IndiGo is facing a significant operational crisis, leading to widespread flight cancellations and delays across major Indian airports, including Indira Gandhi International Airport, Chennai International Airport, Hyderabad Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, Shivaji, Kempegowda International Airport, India — Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport, and Ahmedabad Airport. This disruption, now in its fourth day, is attributed to the implementation of new Flight Duty Time Limitations (FDTL) rules by the India — Directorate General of Civil Aviation (India) in India, which impose stricter limits on pilot working hours. Thousands of passengers have been stranded, forcing many to alter travel plans. IndiGo has offered full refunds or free rebooking options to affected customers, while also working to restore normal operations, though further delays are anticipated.
