The widespread flight disruptions involving IndiGo this week left thousands of passengers stranded across the country. For many, the consequences were immediate and personal like missed meetings, hurried rebookings, cancelled holidays, and the anxious uncertainty that accompanies long hours in terminals. But beyond the individual stories lies a larger systemic lesson. In an aviation ecosystem where a single airline carries a majority of domestic passengers, localised disruptions can snowball into nationwide turbulence.
