IndiGo crisis enters day 7; over 300 flights cancelled

Flight disruptions at IndiGo entered the seventh day as the crisis-hit carrier cancelled over 300 flights.

According to airport officials, 134 flights have been cancelled in Delhi and 127 in Bengaluru.

At Chennai airport, 71 flights have been cancelled. Several flights have also been cancelled in Mumbai.

In another development, aviation safety regulator DGCA in an order on Sunday late evening extended the time by Monday 6 pm for IndiGo CEO Pieter Elbers and Chief Operating Officer and Accountable Manager Isidro Porqueras to submit reply to its show cause notice over the ongoing disruptions in the airline's operations.

In the notices issued to Elbers and Porqueras on Saturday, the regulator said the large-scale operational failures pointed to significant lapses in planning, oversight, and resource management, and asked them to submit their replies within 24 hours.

The Gurugram-based airline, partially-owned by Rahul Bhatia, has been facing heat from both the government and the passengers for cancelling hundreds of flights since December 2, citing regulatory changes in the pilots' new flight duty and regulations norms, which resulted in lakhs of passengers getting stuck at airports pan-India.

For the first three days the airline failed to acknowledge the huge number of cancellations and it was only Friday when it cancelled 1,600 flights (Friday), a record in Indian aviation history that CEO Elbers released a video apologising for the major inconvenience caused to passengers due to the disruptions.

In the message, he admitted that the airline was cancelling a large number of flights, but did not mention that it would cancel 1,600 flights on that particular day.

The new norms, applicable for all domestic carriers, have come into force in two phases -- July 1 and November 1 this year.

IndiGo has already temporarily secured major relaxations in the second phase norms till February 10.
