class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The wave of cancellations on December 3 and 4 sent key hubs into disorder. Delhi saw nearly 100 IndiGo flights scrapped, Mumbai around 85, Bengaluru 73, Hyderabad 68, and Chennai 31. On-time performance dropped below 20 percent across major cities.<\/p>\n<p>Airport terminals were overwhelmed. At Delhi T1, long lines formed for refunds and rebookings, with families waiting through the night. Hyderabad saw crowds pushing through barriers as only a few agents tried to manage hundreds of frustrated flyers.<\/p>\n<p>International routes to Dubai, Singapore, and Bangkok also faced delays, disrupting holiday and business travel during a peak season. Fares on Air India, Vistara, and Akasa shot up two to three times as passengers rushed to find alternatives.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-did-this-happen\"><\/span>Why Did This Happen?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The root cause is a serious pilot and crew shortage. New DGCA duty-time rules introduced in November require longer rest periods and fewer night shifts. IndiGo, which operates over 2,200 flights daily, didn\u2019t have enough crew to absorb the changes.<\/p>\n<p>Other factors added pressure:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Winter fog in northern India<\/li>\n<li>Rostering software issues<\/li>\n<li>High seasonal passenger traffic<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>IndiGo\u2019s tight scheduling model left little room for backup staff, exposing gaps as soon as the new rules kicked in.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"passenger-experience-delays-confusion-and-no-updates\"><\/span>Passenger Experience: Delays, Confusion, and No Updates<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Travelers shared stories of long waits, last-minute cancellations, and minimal communication. Some arrived at the airport only to learn their flight was canceled hours later. Others paid high last-minute fares to switch airlines after waiting 10 to 16 hours.<\/p>\n<p>Many said updates were unclear or delayed, adding to the frustration and forcing unexpected expenses on food, hotels, and transport.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"indigos-response\"><\/span>IndiGo\u2019s Response<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>IndiGo has apologized for the widespread disruption and says it is working with DGCA and the Ministry of Civil Aviation. The airline plans to reduce flights from December 8 to stabilize operations and hopes to return to normal by early February 2026.<\/p>\n<p>More staff are being deployed at Delhi and other major airports to handle rebookings and passenger support.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"dgca-steps-in\"><\/span>DGCA Steps In<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>DGCA has launched an investigation and issued reminders about passenger rights.
