Making a post on social media platform X, Rahul Gandhi wrote, "IndiGo fiasco is the cost of this Govt’s monopoly model. Once again, it’s ordinary Indians who pay the price - in delays, cancellations and helplessness. India deserves fair competition in every sector, not match-fixing monopolies."

Passenger Chaos At Airport

"I'm here for over 12 hours. Every time they are telling us one-hour delays, two-hour delays. We were going to a wedding, and we didn't even have our luggage. IndiGo staff is not telling us anything. Worst airlines right now. I don't understand why they are taking new passengers and stocking up luggage," a flier was quoted as saying by NDTV.

Why IndiGo Flights Are Cancelled

New civil aviation rules called Flight Duty Time Limitations (FDTL) have capped the maximum hours pilots and cabin crew can fly or work in a day/week. To follow these stricter rest requirements, airlines suddenly need thousands of extra pilots and crew members. Until they hire and train more staff, carriers have been forced to cut frequencies, delay flights, and cancel several routes across India.
