IndiGo chaos: CEO Pieter Elbers expects cancellations to fall below 1,000 on Saturday; full normalisation likely by December 10–15

IndiGo CEO Pieter Elbers expects fewer than 1,000 flight cancellations on Saturday, with operations normalizing between December 10-15. The airline scrapped over 1,000 flights due to planning gaps in new Flight Duty Time Limitations (FDTL) norms, apologizing for the disruption. The DGCA has paused the FDTL rules, and a high-level inquiry is underway.
