New Delhi: Air travellers across several airports in the country were seriously inconvenienced by a massive disruption of IndiGo services on Wednesday and Thursday.

After 300 of its flights got cancelled or delayed over the past two days, IndiGo blamed “an accumulation of several operational challenges” for the disruptions. ADVERTISEMENT

Indigo CEO Pieter Elbers pointed out “minor technology glitches, schedule changes, adverse weather conditions, heightened congestion in the aviation ecosystem and the implementation of the newly released FDTL (Flight Duty Time Limit) norms,” in an internal email to employees which has been seen by Hindustan Times.

New FDTL norms for pilots kicked in from November 1, which resulted in dozens of flights of multiple airlines being cancelled.
