Indigo Flights Cancelled: The crisis has deepened for Indigo airline. Indigo canceled more than 100 flights at different airports. Many services were delayed on Wednesday as the country’s largest airline faced operational problems mainly due to crew shortage. Aviation watchdog DGCA said it is investigating the disruptions in IndiGo’s flights and has asked the airline to explain the reasons for the current situation as well as plans to minimize flight cancellations and delays.
Most flights canceled from Bengaluru-Delhi airport
Sources said that more than 100 Indigo flights were canceled at different airports including Delhi, Bengaluru, Mumbai and Hyderabad. He said that at least 42 flights were canceled at Bengaluru Airport, 38 flights at Delhi Airport, 33 at Mumbai Airport and 19 flights at Hyderabad Airport. Apart from this, many flights were delayed.
Indigo is facing many problems
As part of the calibrated adjustment announced by IndiGo, flights will be canceled and rescheduled. Chaos was witnessed at the airport on Wednesday as hundreds of passengers faced hardships due to service cancellations and long delays. An airline spokesperson said in a statement, “The challenges included minor technology glitches, schedule changes related to winter weather, inclement weather, increased congestion in aviation systems and the implementation of updated crew rostering rules (flight duty time limitations) that had a worse impact on our operations than expected.”
Reduction in crew due to FDTL rules
A source said, “IndiGo is facing a severe crew shortage since the implementation of the second phase of FDTL (Flight Duty Time Limitation) norms, leading to cancellation of many flights and huge delays in operations at all airports. The new FDTL norms, which include increasing the rest period to 48 hours in a week, increasing night hours and reducing the number of night landings to just two from the earlier six, are being implemented by IndiGo and the Tata Group. Domestic airlines like Air India had initially opposed it, but later after the instructions of Delhi High Court, the first phase of these FDTL norms came into effect from July, while the second phase was implemented from November 1.
