New Delhi, December 8: IndiGo's widespread cancellations on Monday severely disrupted air travel, with 143 flights cancelled at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport alone, including 83 departures and 60 arrivals.
The ripple effect spread to other major airports, including Ahmedabad, where 18 cancellations were reported by 8 AM, and Bengaluru, which saw 127 cancellations.
Other impacted airports included Hyderabad, Chennai, Guwahati, and Jaipur. Despite these disruptions, airport authorities confirmed that operations at terminals remained generally orderly. Passengers faced long waits, and Delhi Airport issued an advisory urging travelers to check flight statuses before heading to the airport.
Union Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu Kinjarapu attributed the disruptions to IndiGo's internal crew rostering and operational planning issues, assuring that safety standards would not be compromised.
