IndiGo flight status today: IndiGo cancelled roughly 50 flights on Tuesday, affecting multiple airports including Mumbai, Delhi, Varanasi, Pune, Chandigarh, Amritsar, Indore, and Patna, according to the airline’s official website. The airline, however, did not specify the reason behind the cancellations.
Winter Schedule Slashed After Operational Disruptions
As part of its winter schedule, IndiGo was initially allowed to operate 15,014 flights per week, or 2,144 per day on domestic routes, marking a 6 per cent increase compared to 14,158 flights per week during the summer schedule of 2025. However, massive operational disruptions earlier this month led to the cancellation of thousands of flights and caused severe inconvenience to lakhs of passengers across the country.
Following these events, the government reduced IndiGo’s winter schedule by 10 per cent, restricting the airline to a maximum of 1,930 flights per day, excluding international and cargo services.
DGCA Sets Up Probe Panel to Investigate
In response to the large-scale flight cancellations, which at one point peaked at 1,600 flights in a single day, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) constituted a 4-member probe panel. The panel is tasked with examining manpower planning, fluctuating rostering systems, and the airline’s preparedness to implement updated duty period and rest norms for pilots.
The panel has already summoned and questioned IndiGo’s Chief Executive Officer Pieter Elbers and Chief Operating Officer Isidre Porqueras. Its findings are expected to be released later this week.
