The domestic airline IndiGo canceled 67 flights from several airports on Thursday, citing “forecasted” bad weather and operational reasons, according to the airline’s website. This comes amid the New Year rush that began across the country. Meanwhile, the aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has designated the period from 10 December to 10 February as the official fog window for this winter.
IndiGo, which is under DGCA monitoring following the cancellation of thousands of flights earlier this month, is operating a reduced schedule in line with government directives, according to PTIUnder its original winter schedule, the airline was allowed to operate 15,014 domestic flights per week, or about 2,144 flights per day, around 6% more than the 14,158 weekly flights it ran during the summer schedule of 2025,
However, after significant disruptions, including the cancellation of 1,600 flights in a single day due to new pilot rest norms that mandate additional rest, the government reduced IndiGo’s domestic flight schedule by 10%, or 214 flights per day. As a result, under the current winter schedule, IndiGo is limited to operating no more than 1,930 domestic flights per day.
