IndiGo cancels over 750 flights amid pilot shortage; FDTL relaxation sought

New Delhi, Dec 5 (UNI) IndiGo’s operational disruption entered its third day on Friday, with over 750 flights cancelled across major airports, adding to the more than 550 cancellations reported the previous day.
The airline has called off all 235 flights at Delhi airport on Friday, while operations at Chennai are expected to be affected until 6 pm. Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad have also experienced significant disruptions.
The airline, India’s largest, has attributed the chaos to a pilot shortage compounded by the pressures of the winter schedule.
