On Saturday, the sixth day of IndiGo’s domestic flight cancellations and delays began. Tens of thousands of travelers are concerned about lengthy delays and skyrocketing travel expenses as a result of the problem.
The airline expressed regret for the severe situation on Friday and promised to reimburse all canceled flights.
The authorities are closely monitoring the situation. The main reason of the interruptions was an unexpected pilot shortage that resulted from poor preparation.
With a fleet of more than 400 aircraft and 2,300 daily flights, IndiGo’s punctuality has drastically decreased as a result of the operational delays, which are predicted to last for many more days.
The Civil Aviation Ministry noted on Saturday that certain airlines were charging abnormally high tickets amid the continued disruption. The new fare limitations were mandated to be carefully adhered to by all airlines. According to the ministry, these limitations will stay in place until the situation completely stabilizes.
Live updates on the IndiGo Flight Crisis: Nitin Jadhav, President of the Council of Indian Aviation, calls for an investigation into the chaos surrounding the IndiGo cancellation.
The President of the Council of Indian Aviation, Nitin Jadhav, called for an investigation into the IndiGo cancelation turmoil as the airline’s flight operations continued to experience severe interruptions on Saturday, leaving thousands of customers stranded at key airports throughout the country.
“The IndiGo management itself is liable for this, not the pilots,” Nitin Jadhav told ANI. They have the backing of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). I am calling for a CBI investigation into IndiGo and the DGCA. This is part of a covert agenda. The DGCA is not carrying out its duties effectively.
