IndiGo has cancelled over 400 flights from four major airports on Saturday (December 6, 2025), a day after managing to temporarily secure major relaxations in the second phase of the court-mandated new flight duty and rest period norms for the cockpit crew, sources said.

Of these, 124 flights (63 departures and 61 arrivals) were cancelled at Bengaluru airport and 109 flights -- 51 departures and 58 arrivals -- at Mumbai airport, they said.

The Ministry of Civil Aviation on Saturday (December 6, 2025) announced capping of airfares to control the surge in ticket prices due to a breakdown in the private carrier’s flight services. The government has ordered IndiGo to complete all passenger refunds by December 7, 2025, 8:00 p.m..

The number of cancellations at Delhi airport stood at 106, including 54 departures and 52 arrivals, the sources said, adding that 66 flights have been cancelled by IndiGo at Hyderabad airport.

The airline cancelled more than 1,000 flights on Friday crippling air travel across India and sending airfares skyrocketing, which prompted the government to exempt the country’s largest airline from meeting new rules until February 10.
