Indigo cancels over 200 flights in single day due to ‘crew shortage’; ‘shut down,’ say enraged passengers

NEW DELHI: Indigo airlines cancelled over 200 flights, and delayed countless others due to a crew shortage across airports in the country on Wednesday.

This is the second consecutive day that Indigo is unable to operate a large number of flights.

The airline, which operates over 2,200 flights daily, has scored a mere 35% on the punctuality front in operations on December 2 (Tuesday), reveals data released by the Ministry of Civil Aviation. This is the worst score among all the leading airlines assessed.
