Disruptions to IndiGo's operations continued as the carrier cancelled services across several airports on December 4. It affected flight services in cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru. The development came a day after it scrapped over 200 flights and delayed many others amid a nationwide crew shortage and software glitches.
The aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) stated that airline IndiGo cancelled a total of 1,232 flights in November. With 755 of them cancelled due to crew and Flight Duty Time Limitation (FDTL) constraints. Reportedly, IndiGo is staring at a severe shortage of both cockpit and cabin crew. The crisis is due to a massive recruitment drive by international airline Emirates at Delhi and Mumbai this week. However, Indigo attributed the significant disruption to multiple reasons, including unforeseen operational challenges.
