Passengers at major hubs including Delhi, Hyderabad and Bengaluru, faced long queues, confusion and mounting delays as the budget carrier struggled with what it described as “multitude of unforeseen operational challenges”. These included minor technical issues, weather-related constraints and adjustments linked to the winter schedule.<\/p>\n
However, industry observers and subsequent official statements indicated that the principal the cause was the implementation of the Flight Duty Time Limitations (FDTL) introduced in January 2024 and the airline completely failed in implementing it. Although designed to prevent crew fatigue by regulating pilot working hours, the norms had not been fully applied by the airline. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) later attributed the large-scale cancellations to IndiGo\u2019s \u201cmisjudgment and gap in planning\u201d in enforcing the rules. \nIndira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi issued an advisory noting that operations were gradually improving. “We are glad to update that Indigo flight operations are now steadily resuming and getting back to normalcy following the brief disruption. Please check the status of your booking and flight before leaving from home,\u201d the airport said.<\/p>\n
