India Dec 04, 2025

Things got pretty hectic at Lucknow airport on Thursday after IndiGo canceled 12 flights, blaming a sudden crew shortage caused by new scheduling rules.
Key routes like Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Pune, and Ahmedabad were hit, and even a flight from Dubai was called off—leaving lots of travel plans in limbo.

Frustrated passengers want answers

Hundreds of travelers were left stranded and upset, with many only learning about the cancelations once they reached the airport.
Long lines for rebooking and unclear updates from IndiGo made things worse.
Passengers are now asking for better communication and fair compensation to avoid this kind of mess in the future.
