• IndiGo cancelled all domestic flights from Delhi until midnight and over 700 flights today, marking its highest single-day cancellation count in 20 years.
• The airline's operational meltdown, ongoing for four days, has caused chaos for passengers at major hubs, with more cancellations expected for 2-3 days.
• IndiGo attributed the disruptions to misjudged crew requirements under revised duty norms, compounded by winter weather and airport congestion.
• The Civil Aviation Minister directed airports to ensure children and senior citizens do not face problems due to the flight cancellations.
