Anti-CAA protests: 19 IndiGo flights stand cancelled, 16 others delayed

Nineteen IndiGo flights were cancelled and 16 others were delayed as crew members were stuck in traffic jam on NH-8 due to anti-CAA protests on Thursday, a Delhi airport official said.

Four airlines — Vistara, GoAir, Air India and IndiGo — announced that their passengers, who are stuck in traffic due to anti-CAA protests in various parts of Delhi, will be adjusted in subsequent flights for no extra fees.

“Till now, 16 flights have been delayed due to traffic jam at NH-8. IndiGo has cancelled 19 flights as the crew members were stuck in traffic jam and because of other issues,” the official said.

In a press statement on Thursday, IndiGo said that it has “proactively blocked hotel rooms near the airport to keep our crew ready to be deployed at short notice…Customers who are affected can be rebooked at no additional cost.”
