Indigo Meltdown: All Departures From Delhi Cancelled, No Relief For Another 2 Months?

Chaos continues at airports across India as massive IndiGo flight cancellations leave thousands stranded — including a groom who was supposed to get married today at Mumbai Airport. Passengers are furious, stuck in long queues, with little clarity on when operations will stabilise. Amid nationwide disruption, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has now rolled back a key pilot roster rule that had contributed to the crisis. Over the last four days, more than 1,000 IndiGo flights have been cancelled, forcing the regulator to withdraw its January 20 directive that prevented airlines from substituting weekly pilot rest days with leave. This rule had reduced scheduling flexibility and intensified delays across major airports. The DGCA said the rollback comes after “operational disruptions” and multiple appeals from airlines seeking relief to restore normal operations. What caused the cancellations? Why are passengers bearing the brunt? And will operations return to normal anytime soon?
