IndiGo has cancelled over 170 flights on December 4, 2025, with nearly 200 additional flights delayed or cancelled across major airports including Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru. The disruption is primarily due to a severe shortage of pilots and crew following the implementation of stricter Flight Duty Time Limitations (FDTL) norms on November 1, requiring longer rest periods and tighter rostering. Technical issues, winter schedule changes, airport congestion, and adverse weather have further compounded the situation. In November alone, IndiGo cancelled 1,232 flights, leaving thousands of passengers stranded and prompting DGCA to summon the airline for explanations. (PC: India Today)
