IndiGo Crisis Enters Day 5: 400 Flights Cancelled As Government Caps Airfares To Stop Price Surge

Описание: India’s aviation sector spiralled further into crisis as Day 5 of IndiGo’s meltdown saw over 400 flights cancelled across Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad. With pilot-rostering failures showing no signs of easing, the nationwide disruption intensified, leaving thousands stranded and airports overwhelmed. As fares surged sharply across multiple routes, the government stepped in with a decisive intervention: invoking regulatory powers to cap ticket prices and stop airlines from exploiting stranded passengers. The Civil Aviation Ministry issued strict directives mandating adherence to these fare caps until full normalcy returns. Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu announced a formal probe into IndiGo’s lapses, while regulators issued FDTL relaxations to stabilise operations. Meanwhile, IndiGo offered refunds, hotel stays, food support and expanded customer service to manage the crisis. With India’s largest airline cancelling more than 1,000 flights in 48 hours, the government’s fare crackdown marks a rare intervention in a deepening aviation emergency.
