After five days of flight cancellations and delays, IndiGo operated over 1,500 flights on Sunday as DGCA issued a notice to its CEO. The civil aviation ministry imposed refund deadlines and fare caps. Passengers remain affected, but 95% of the network has been restored.
Civil Aviation Minister K. Ram Mohan Naidu said on Monday that the government will curtail IndiGo's winter flight schedule due to recent large-scale operational disruptions and reallocate slots to other operators. He noted that refunds of ₹745 crore have been issued for 7,30,655 cancelled PNRs from December 1 to 8. Bag deliveries are also progressing rapidly.

New DGCA rules have left IndiGo Airlines short of crew members, resulting in hundreds of flight cancellations over the past four days. On Friday, over 1,000 flights were cancelled, forcing passengers to wait up to 20 hours at airports. The CEO apologised and expects normal operations to resume between December 10 and 15.
