New Delhi: Thousands of passengers were left stranded at airports across the country after around 1,000 IndiGo flights were cancelled due to a shortage of manpower. Responding to the ongoing crisis, the airline's CEO Pieter Elbers said the situation is anticipated to normalise between December 10–15.

Elbers, in a video message, apologised for the major inconvenience caused to the passengers due to the disruptions. "Regrettably, earlier measures of the last few days have proven not to be enough. So we decided today for a reboot of all our systems and schedules, resulting in the highest number of cancellations so far, but imperative for progressive improvements starting tomorrow onwards," he said.
