IndiGo’s extensive flight disruptions are continuing, with the airline experiencing widespread delays and cancellations for the fourth consecutive day. This has led to considerable travel chaos across India, with hundreds of flights impacted and on-time performance reaching an all-time low. The airline attributes these operational issues to a critical shortage of cabin crew, a situation compounded by the recent introduction of new Flight Duty Time Limitations (FDTL) rules. In response, IndiGo plans to scale back its operations temporarily to stabilize its network, with a projected return to normalcy by early February. Passengers should brace for further flight changes in the immediate future.
Staying updated on your flight’s status is paramount during this period. IndiGo provides official channels for real-time tracking. Access the ‘Flight Status’ feature on the airline’s official website (goindigo.in or goindigo.com) by navigating through the ‘Trips’ tab. You can search using your flight number, PNR, or by specifying your departure and arrival cities along with the travel date. The official IndiGo mobile app offers an equally convenient way to track your flight. Download it from your app store, select ‘Flight Status,’ and enter your flight details or route information. For the most efficient updates, remember to log in and enable push notifications on the app. This ensures you receive immediate alerts for any delays, cancellations, or gate changes. Always confirm your flight status multiple times before leaving for the airport and refresh the information regularly.
