As IndiGo’s operational turmoil entered Day 3 on Friday, more than 750 flights were cancelled across major airports, adding to the over 550 cancellations reported yesterday . The airline has cancelled all 235 flights at Delhi airport today, while operations at Chennai airport are expected to be impacted until 6 pm. Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad have also been severely affected.

IndiGo, the country's largest airline, has attributed the chaos to a pilot shortage compounded by winter-schedule pressures. The airline has requested partial relaxations of the new Flight Duty Time Limitations (FDTL) norms to stabilise operations, noting that full implementation is expected only by February 2026.
