IndiGo Crisis: Kolkata-Mumbai Fares Hit ₹90,282; Govt Mulls Intervention

• IndiGo flight cancellations have led to massive airfare hikes, with a Kolkata-Mumbai ticket reaching over ₹90,000.
• Cancellations are attributed to IndiGo's failure to estimate crew requirements under new FDTL regulations, causing planning flaws.
• The government has mandated full refunds and accommodation for stranded passengers; DGCA formed a committee to investigate.
• Services are expected to normalize within three days, with full restoration by December 10-15, and DGCA will review IndiGo's improvements every 15 days.

Why It Matters: Sky-high airfares from IndiGo's crisis may force government intervention for travelers.
