IndiGo Cancels 67 Flights Amid Fog, DGCA Scrutiny Intensifies

• IndiGo cancelled 67 flights on Thursday, primarily due to bad weather forecasts and operational issues across various airports.
• Affected cities include Agartala, Chandigarh, Dehradun, Varanasi, and Bengaluru, with IndiGo citing low visibility and fog in Bengaluru.
• The DGCA has designated Dec 10 - Feb 10 as the official "fog window," requiring airlines to use CAT-IIIB compliant aircraft and trained pilots.
• IndiGo is under DGCA scrutiny and operating a reduced schedule, with its domestic flights cut by 10% (214 flights daily) due to previous disruptions.
• Earlier mass cancellations (Dec 1-9) were attributed to crew shortages and poor planning for new pilot rest regulations, prompting a DGCA committee investigation.
