IndiGo CEO calls flight chaos "worst day"; Govt orders high-level inquiry.

  • IndiGo CEO Peter Elbers acknowledged massive flight disruptions, calling December 5th the airline's "worst day" with over 1,000 cancellations.
  • Disruptions were attributed to an operational system reboot, technical glitches, schedule changes, adverse weather, congestion, and new FDTL rules.
  • Thousands of passengers were stranded nationwide, leading to long queues and widespread discontent.
  • IndiGo expects normalization between December 10-15 and apologized for the inconvenience.
  • The central government ordered a high-level inquiry, and the DGCA formed a committee to investigate operational failures; FDTL orders were suspended.

Why It Matters: IndiGo's flight failures prompt government action, affecting all air travelers.
