IndiGo

IndiGo, India's largest airline with a 60% market share and over 2,000 daily flights, is currently facing significant disruption. The airline has cancelled thousands of flights in the past week, stranding passengers across the country and causing widespread travel chaos. This disruption stems from the airline's failure to adequately prepare for and adapt to new regulations regarding pilot working hours and crew rostering. The cancellations have also led to a backlog of lost and delayed luggage, further fueling passenger frustration. The Indian government is reportedly intervening to address the crisis. The situation has brought the working conditions of pilots in India under scrutiny, raising questions about potential overwork compared to international standards. IndiGo's dominance in the Indian aviation market makes these disruptions particularly impactful on national air travel.
