IndiGo Crisis

As IndiGo's operational issues stretched into their seventh consecutive day, the ripple effects were felt nationwide, with hundreds of flights cancelled or delayed, leaving thousands of passengers stranded or rescheduling their travel plans. The disruptions have impacted both domestic and international routes, creating chaos at major airports, including Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad.

Passengers have taken to social media to express frustration over last-minute notifications, poor communication, and long waiting times. The airline has attributed the ongoing issues to crew unavailability and scheduling challenges. 

Meanwhile, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has sought a report from IndiGo, and travel experts warn of a domino effect if the situation is not resolved soon. With the holiday season approaching, concerns are growing over further disruptions, fare surges, and airport congestion.
