Hyderabad Airport Faces Over 500 IndiGo Flight Cancellations in Five Days

The cancellations included 61 departures and 54 arrivals. This has taken the total number of IndiGo flights cancelled between December 3 and 7 to 519, extending the disruption into a fifth day.

Although IndiGo has maintained that cancellations will reduce gradually, passengers with imminent travel plans remain unsure whether their flights will operate.

A pilgrim group expressed concern about its journey to Sabarimala. “We are a group of nine pilgrims, including two kids, travelling to Sabarimala today with our Irumudi. Kindly ensure our IndiGo flight 6E950 from Hyderabad to Cochin at 3.55 p.m is not cancelled as it would severely impact our pilgrimage. Please help us reach on time for Darshan,” said Vamsi Kancharla.

A Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel, who is scheduled to fly on December 12, urged the airline to publish advance information on likely cancellations. “IndiGo management should publish a list of flights going to be cancelled in the next coming days so that passengers like me can make alternative arrangements. I have booked a Patna to Hyderabad flight and am still afraid whether I will be able to board the flight and join my duty,” he said.

IndiGo, in a statement issued on Saturday (December 6), said it had cut down operations to stabilise its system. “Addressing the recent disruptions in our network, we had cancelled a significant number of flights and operated a little above 700 flights yesterday connecting 113 destinations. The main objective was to reboot the network, systems, and rosters so that we could start afresh today with a higher number of flights and improved stability, and there are some early signs of improvement,” the airline said.
