IndiGo Turbulence: Crisis in Indian Skies

The crisis at IndiGo, India's biggest airline, has led to the cancellation of thousands of flights due to new pilot regulations. Passengers face delays and confusion, while the government steps in with relief measures. IndiGo hopes for normalcy by mid-December.

Crowds at Indian airports dwindled by Saturday, but hordes of passengers remained stranded as IndiGo cancelled 385 flights during an ongoing crisis.

With new regulations affecting pilot schedules, the airline admitted poor planning led to turmoil, cancelling thousands of flights across India. The government stepped in with special relief measures to clear backlogs.

As IndiGo eyes mid-December for normalcy, other carriers like Air India remained unaffected by the pilot rule changes.
