IndiGo crisis deepens: At 8.5%, airline’s on-time performance hits record low on Friday

IndiGo’s operational troubles worsened on Friday, with its on-time performance across six major metro airports plunging to 8.5%, as per the Civil Aviation Ministry’s published data. This collapse added to a disruption now stretching into its fourth consecutive day. Sources quoted by PTI said the airline halted all departures from Chennai until 6 pm, while flights from Delhi Airport were suspended until midnight.

IndiGo, which has long projected punctuality as one of its defining strengths, saw its on-time performance plunge to 19.7% on Wednesday, down sharply from 35% on Tuesday, signalling a deepening operational crisis.
