IndiGo Crisis: Over 350 Flights Cancelled Today; Delhi Airport Warns Of Continued Delays

In a statement, the Delhi airport said that IndiGo flights “may continue to experience delays” and advised passengers to stay updated through the airline’s official channels to avoid inconvenience.

Flight delays and cancellations continued at several airports across the country on Monday as the IndiGo crisis entered its seventh day. Over 350 flights were cancelled from major airports today, including 134 flights (75 departures and 59 arrivals) from Delhi Airport alone.

As many as 127 flights were grounded in Bengaluru, while 20 flights were cancelled in Ahmedabad. Chennai reported 71 flight cancellations, and Vizag saw seven cancellations. Mumbai and Kolkata also faced significant disruptions.

Earlier today, Delhi Airport issued an advisory cautioning passengers about the possibility of continued flight delays on IndiGo services and urged travellers to check the latest flight status before leaving for the airport.

In a statement, the Delhi airport authority said that IndiGo flights “may continue to experience delays” and advised passengers to stay updated through the airline’s official channels to avoid inconvenience.

Airport officials added that operations teams are working in coordination with IndiGo and other stakeholders to reduce disruptions and streamline movement. “Our teams are working closely with all stakeholders to minimize disruptions and ensure a smooth travel experience,” the advisory noted.

Passengers requiring assistance, including medical support, have been asked to approach the information desk, where on-ground staff are stationed to help. 

Delhi Airport further informed travellers that multiple public transportation options, such as the Delhi Metro, buses, and app-based cabs, are available for convenient travel to and from the airport.

On Sunday, IndiGo cancelled over 650 flights, which was down from more than 1,000 two days earlier. In another development, more than Rs 610 crore worth of ticket refunds have been processed for affected passengers.

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Sunday granted IndiGo CEO Pieter Elbers and Accountable Manager Isidro Porqueras more time to respond to the show-cause notices issued over the widespread flight disruptions. The regulator has extended the deadline by 24 hours, giving both officials until 6 pm on Monday to file their replies.
