Overview
- IndiGo scrubbed 67 services on December 25, citing 63 weather-related cancellations and four for operational reasons across airports including Agartala, Chandigarh, Dehradun, Varanasi and Bengaluru.
- The DGCA’s designated fog window from December 10 to February 10 requires specially trained crews and CAT-IIIB-equipped aircraft for low-visibility operations.
- Following early-December disruptions tied to new pilot rest and rostering rules, the government cut IndiGo’s winter schedule by 10 percent to a limit of 1,930 domestic flights per day from an initially approved 2,144.
- A four-member DGCA panel has questioned CEO Pieter Elbers and COO Isidre Porqueras over the meltdown, with its report expected this week.
- Despite fresh weather impacts, IndiGo says operations have remained stable since December 9, with 2,100–2,200 daily flights across its network and more than one million customers every three days, and it has announced new long-haul routes starting in early 2026.
