IndiGo expands Rs 10,000 vouchers for passengers hit by December flight cancellations

IndiGo has expanded its Rs 10,000 travel voucher scheme to cover passengers severely affected by December's widespread flight cancellations across India. This move aims to provide relief and restore confidence among stranded travellers during the operational crisis.

IndiGo Airlines has expanded its Rs 10,000 travel voucher scheme for passengers severely impacted by the mass flight cancellations in December 2025 across India. The initiative targets those stranded during the operational disruptions that affected thousands of travellers.

According to reports, this expansion seeks to offer compensation and rebuild trust among affected passengers. The widespread cancellations in December created an operational crisis in India's aviation sector, leading to significant inconvenience for flyers.

Through these vouchers, IndiGo aims to provide relief to those hit hardest by the events. The move underscores the airline's focus on customer care amid the challenges. While specific eligibility details remain outlined in the scheme's guidelines, it represents a step toward passenger compensation in the wake of the disruptions.
