IndiGo flight chaos: DGCA grants airline one-time extension to respond to notice, issues warning amid cancellations

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Sunday granted under-fire airline IndiGo a one-time 24-hour extension to submit its response to a show-cause notice issued in the aftermath of chaos across India’s airports, which has been triggered by mass flight cancellations by the budget carrier.

For six days in a row, IndiGo flight operations have been significantly disrupted resulting in massive flight cancellations and delays impacting travel plans of thousands of passengers. Against this backdrop, the regulator had issued the show cause notices.
