What does Indigo say on canceled flights?
Indigo has attributed its delays and canceled flights to several reasons. According to the company, minor technology glitches, winter schedule changes, bad weather, air traffic congestion and new FDTL crew rostering rules have had a compounding negative impact on the entire system. The airline also said that it was not possible to anticipate such an impact, hence the sudden pressure on operations. On December 4, IndiGo’s on-time performance at six metro airports was only 8.5%.
Steps should be taken immediately – Dimple Yadav
Dimple Yadav asked the government to take immediate steps to provide relief to the passengers. He says that the sooner the airline gets technical, operational and staffing support, the sooner the situation will improve. According to ANI, he also added that passengers are facing the most problems at this time and the government’s priority should be to provide them facilities. Keeping in mind the interests of passengers, this issue is being considered serious at the national level and updates are being issued continuously by the airlines till the situation becomes normal.
