Overview
- Medha Kshirsagar and Sangama Das, stranded in Bhubaneswar after repeated delays and a cancellation on December 3, joined their Hubballi reception by video while the bride’s parents performed rituals at the venue.
- Reports across outlets detail hundreds of IndiGo cancellations this week, including more than 500 in a single day, disrupting travel at major airports and leaving thousands of passengers stuck.
- IndiGo attributes the disruption to planning gaps while implementing Phase 2 Flight Duty Time Limitations for pilots, with a nationwide crew shortfall compounding the impact.
- The airline has apologised publicly and is offering full waivers on cancellations and rescheduling requests through December 15, while cautioning that near‑term disruptions will persist.
- IndiGo told the DGCA it expects operations to stabilise by February 10, as authorities and airports took crowd‑control steps such as suspending IndiGo departures from Delhi until midnight on Friday.
