New Delhi: IndiGo Airlines faced one of its most disruptive days on Friday, cancelling over a thousand flights more than half of its scheduled operations prompting a public apology from CEO Pieter Elbers. Speaking to the media, Elbers described Friday as the “most severely impacted day” in the airline’s history and assured passengers that flight cancellations would drop to fewer than 1,000 on Saturday.

The CEO projected a full return to normal operations between December 10 and 15, while cautioning that recovery would take time given the airline’s massive scale of around 2,300 daily domestic and international flights. He acknowledged the considerable inconvenience caused by the disruptions and explained that multiple factors contributed to the crisis.
