Mumbai airport authorities reportedly said on Tuesday that 905 IndiGo flight cancellations between December 1 and December 8 affected a total of 40,789 passengers, while another 2,66,567 travellers experienced significant delays due to the airline’s widespread operational disruptions.
IndiGo flight cancellations continued for the ninth straight day, with over 70 new flights canceled, most of them from Bengaluru airport. Meanwhile, the Delhi High Court heard a petition against the airline, taking note of the difficulties faced by passengers. The government had initially asked IndiGo to reduce its operations by 5% on Tuesday, but later increased the cut to 10%. The flight disruptions, which began on December 2, have continued for over a week.
Despite IndiGo’s claims that operations are stabilizing, cancellations have persisted for nine days, and further disruptions are expected today.
Passengers still stranded amid flight disruptions
Early morning visuals from several Indian airports, including Delhi and Ahmedabad, showed passengers stranded due to ongoing flight cancellations and delays. More than 400 flights were canceled the previous day, with Delhi and Bengaluru being the worst affected, each recording over 100 cancellations.
Although IndiGo has assured that its operations are gradually stabilizing, the high number of cancellations in recent days suggests that some disruptions are likely to continue today.
