IndiGo’s ongoing flight delays have had a major negative effect on the Indian air travel industry. On Monday, India’s three biggest International Airports reported over 450 flight cancellations. India’s largest airport for International flights, Delhi’s IGI Airport, had cancellations of 134 total flights (75 departed and 59 arrived). Bengaluru Kempegowda Airport had 127 cancelled flights. Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Hyderabad had 77 cancellations. Other Indian Airports with high numbers of cancelled flights included Ahmedabad’s Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport and Jaipur Airport.
Delhi Airport has provided an updated announcement on their website regarding the cancellation of flights and encourage travelers to verify flight status prior to arriving at the airport, and as an alternative mode of transport to the airport, use the Metro, bus or taxi. There were personnel at various locations throughout the airport to assist passengers, including medical personnel.
On December 6, 2025, the DGCA issued IndiGo’s CEO and Accountable Manager with a Show Cause Notice regarding, among other things, operational disruptions and non-compliance with regulations. On December 7, 2025, the DGCA gave IndiGo’s CEO/Accountable Manager an additional 24 hours to respond to the DGCA’s notice. Failure to respond fully by this new deadline will mean potential ex parte/action(s) against IndiGo. The DGCA continues to monitor this situation and will take necessary steps to protect passenger safety while restoring IndiGo to its normal operating procedures as soon as possible.
According to DGCA, IndiGo’s operations should stabilise on 10 December 2025. Passengers should check official sources of the airlines and am airport advisories frequently, to minimise the chance of travel interruption.
