IndiGo issued a "sincere apology" Wednesday evening after over 150 flight cancellations and widespread delays across India due to multiple operational challenges. The airline announced "calibrated adjustments" to schedules for the next 48 hours to stabilize operations. Disruptions stemmed from technical glitches, winter schedule changes, adverse weather, aviation congestion, and new Flight Duty Time Limitation rules. Major airports saw significant cancellations: 67 from Delhi, 42 from Bengaluru, 32 from Mumbai, and 33 from Hyderabad. The Federation of Indian Pilots disputed IndiGo's FDTL explanation, attributing disruptions to the airline's "prolonged lean manpower strategy." Affected passengers were offered alternate arrangements or refunds. Other carriers also faced delays after Amadeus software outages Tuesday night.(PC: Indigo)
