IndiGo flights hit across India; here’s what caused the snag

Flights of budget carrier IndiGo were impacted pan India after the carrier’s servers snagged on Monday. “Our systems have been down across the network since morning. As a result, we are expecting our operations to be impacted across the airports,” IndiGo said in a statement. The airline further added that it is making efforts for a speedy resolution of the issue. Meanwhile, anxious customers have taken it to social media platforms to bring the attention of the concerned authorities to the delayed flights.

Meanwhile, IndiGo is also facing another crisis at home with the aviation watchdog ordering a quick resolution of its faulty Pratt and Whitney engines. Early last week, DGCA directed the budget carrier to fix all of its A320neo engines after multiple reports of mid-air stallings of IndiGo flights. The DGCA threatened grounding of an entire fleet of A320neo if they are not fixed before 31 January 2020, various news channels reported. IndiGo operates about 97 planes in the A320neo range.
