IndiGo cancels 200+ flights, leaving travelers stranded

India Dec 04, 2025

IndiGo, India's largest airline, canceled over 200 flights earlier this week, causing chaos at major airports like Delhi and Mumbai.
Passengers dealt with long waits and packed terminals as the airline's on-time performance dropped to just 35%.

What caused the mess?

New rules now require pilots to rest more and limit night landings, which led to a serious crew shortage—IndiGo canceled over 1,200 flights in November alone.
Other issues like bad weather and tech glitches made things worse.

What happens next?

Aviation authorities have asked IndiGo for answers and a plan to fix things fast.
The airline says it's making changes to get back on track and promises affected travelers will get refunds or new bookings.
