CHENNAI: Entering the 10th consecutive day of crisis, IndiGo Airlines cancelled 36 flights on Thursday. The cancellations included 24 departures and 12 arrivals.
Compared to Wednesday's 70 cancellations at the Chennai facility, the nearly halved dip in cancelled flights was a relief to many flyers. Cancellation of flights was to destinations like Delhi, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Patna, Bhubaneswar, Kochi, Kolkata, and Coimbatore, along with international services to Singapore and Penang (Malaysia).
Incoming flights from Singapore, Penang, Jaipur, Bengaluru, Coimbatore, Delhi, and Mumbai were also cancelled. Indigo has been facing major service disruptions across the country since December 1 due to staff shortages, crew unavailability, and several internal operational problems.
