India's Indigo Airlines cancelled thousands of flights for 5 consecutive days due to issues such as difficulties in scheduling pilots due to new regulations issued by the Indian government, causing a large number of passengers to be stranded at the airport. On the 5th alone, Indigo cancelled more than 1,000 flights. On the 6th, Indigo cancelled a total of 385 flights in Bengaluru, Mumbai, New Delhi and Hyderabad. Furthermore, over the past few days, airports in New Delhi, Mumbai and other places have experienced lengthy flight delays. According to a Reuters report on the 3rd, the Indigo counter at New Delhi Airport was chaotic, and the anger of the passengers was high. The Indian government announced on the 5th that Indigo could delay implementation of the new regulations until February 10 next year. Indigo later said that flights are expected to gradually return to normal between the 10th and 15th of this month. Indigo's “wave of flight cancellations” is driving up fares on popular routes of other Indian airlines. India's Ministry of Civil Aviation announced the implementation of fare control on the 6th, but did not disclose specific price limit standards.
