IndiGo Flight Cancellation Status Today Live: Over 400 Flights Cancelled On 7th Day; Delhi HC To Hear Plea For Ground Support On December 10

Over 400 IndiGo flights were cancelled on Monday, December 8, at Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai and other airports. Delhi and Bengaluru airports were among the worst-hit, with 134 and 127 flight cancellations, news agency ANI reported. 

Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport reported 134 cancellations, with 75 departures and 59 arrivals. At Bengaluru Airport, 127 IndiGo flights were cancelled, which included 65 arrivals and 62 departures.

The Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has issued a show-cause notice to IndiGo, demanding that CEO Pieter Elbers explain the widespread cancellations. However, the DGCA granted a one-time 24-hour extension to submit its response to the notice. 

India's biggest airline, IndiGo, is grappling with a major crisis, having cancelled over 4,500 flights since last Tuesday. The disruption, which entered its seventh consecutive day on Monday, is primarily attributed to a pilot shortage following the implementation of Flight Duty Time Limitations (FDTL) rules. 

The Supreme Court declined to intervene immediately, stating that the Government of India has already taken cognisance of the issue and is addressing the widespread cancellations and delays that have left many passengers stranded across the country. 

Meanwhile, the Delhi High Court has agreed to list the matter on Wednesday, news agency PTI reported.

A Public Interest Litigation (PIL) has been filed before the Delhi High Court seeking relief for passengers impacted by the widespread IndiGo flight crisis. The Delhi High Court is scheduled to hear the matter on Wednesday, December 10, 2025.

IndiGo's operational crisis continued on Monday, with more than 400 flights cancelled across the country today. Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Chennai were among the worst-hit.

In a statement released Sunday, the airline assured passengers that it expects operations to stabilise by December 10.

Chief Justice of India Surya Kant said, "We understand that lakhs of people might be facing issues and are in difficulty. But the Union of India seems to have taken some steps. They have acted proactively. Let them handle the situation."

The Supreme Court on Monday declined to grant an urgent hearing on the "IndiGo crisis" Public Interest Litigation (PIL), which sought immediate judicial intervention over the cancellation of nearly 1,000 flights nationwide.

Filed by lawyer Narendra Mishra, the plea was declined after the Court noted that the government had already taken cognisance of the massive disruption, Times Now reported.

A total of 134 IndiGo flights were cancelled at Delhi's IGI Airport on Monday, airport officials reported. The cancellations comprised 75 departures and 59 arrivals.
