Chaotic scenes persisted at airports across the country as IndiGo’s flight delays stretched into Thursday (December 4, 2025), forcing the cancellation of at least 250 flights across four major airports. The disruption also hit other carriers, which were forced to cancel some flights as IndiGo aircraft occupied parking bays amid lack of available crew.

Around 30 IndiGo flights were cancelled in Delhi, 73 in Bengaluru, 68 in Hyderabad, and 85 in Mumbai. At Hyderabad airport, frustrated passengers staged a demonstration inside the terminal, chanting slogans against IndiGo over the mounting flight delays.

Top IndiGo officials also met Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu and Faiz Kidwai, Director-General of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).
