Indigo crisis: Nearly 130 flights cancelled for today due to pilot shortage

Acute shortage of pilots along with NOTAMs at some airports forced IndiGo to cancel around 130 flights for Friday, a source said.

The cancelled flights account for almost 10 per cent of the airline’s operations, the source said.

The Gurugram-based budget carrier operates over 1,300 flights per day with a fleet of 210 planes.

“IndiGo has cancelled around 130 flights for Friday as it continues to face shortage of pilots,” the source said.
