Travelers are advised to check train schedules and book tickets early as demand rises.

The DGCA’s handling of the FDTL rollout and its interactions with IndiGo are also under review. In November and December, the airline issued short-term rosters, and now even shorter-term rosters are being used to keep flights operational. The panel aims to determine whether these delays contributed to the recent flight crisis and if the full implementation of the FDTL rules might need to be postponed beyond February 10, 2026.

A four-member government panel is investigating IndiGo over its handling of the new Flight Duty Time Limitation (FDTL) rules, amid the recent flight disruptions. Officials are looking into whether the airline spent time lobbying the DGCA for exemptions or deferments past the November 1 deadline instead of preparing its crew for the new rules.

Junior Civil Aviation Minister Murlidhar Mohol said IndiGo was aware of the revised Flight Duty Time Limitation (FDTL) norms but failed to comply.

Speaking from Pune, he confirmed a show-cause notice has been issued to the airline’s CEO. Mohol added that while the Centre revised FDTL norms last year and a phased rollout began in July 2025, DGCA fully implemented the rules from November 1. To help normalise operations, the new guidelines are on hold until February 2026.

“A four-member inquiry committee has been set up. Its report will come soon. IndiGo will definitely face action. That is why the show-cause has been sent to the CEO,” Mohol said according to TOI.

The DGCA on Sunday granted IndiGo’s top executives extra time to file their response to the show-cause notice.

“The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has granted the Accountable Manager and CEO of M/s IndiGo a one-time 24-hour extension to submit its response to the Show-Cause Notice issued on 06 December 2025 regarding recent large-scale operational disruptions and observed non-compliances,” DGCA said in a statement.

In Gurugram, IndiGo CEO Pieter Elbers said the airline’s planned reboot on Friday, when a large batch of flights was cancelled, helped them restart operations on a cleaner slate the next day. He said IndiGo ran about 1,500 flights on Saturday, up from a over 700 on Friday, and added that cancelling flights earlier in the day helped ensure passengers weren’t turning up at airports for flights that wouldn’t take off.

Elbers said Sunday they aimed to touch around 1,650 flights, with on-time performance projected at roughly 75%, a big jump from the previous day’s 30%. He also added that 137 stations are back in action and that refunds, baggage tracing and rebooking are moving faster now as the backlog eases.

The DGCA has warned that if IndiGo does not submit a complete reply within the extended deadline, the regulator will go ahead with the matter on the basis of existing records. The aviation watchdog said it is tracking the situation closely and is focused on passenger safety, proper compliance, and getting operations back to normal soon.

IndiGo has responded to the Show Cause Notice issued on December 6, 2025, over the recent disruptions across its flight network. In its communication, the airline sought more time to file a detailed reply, with Accountable Manager and COO Isidre Porqueras Orea requesting an extension until 6 pm on December 8, 2025, or any additional time the authorities deem appropriate.

The government has granted a one-time relaxation for some of the flight duty time limitation (FDTL) norms that triggered massive disruption of IndiGo flights last week. Though this gives the airline more time to adapt to the new rules, it will not be easy to build pilot bench strength that quickly, explains Yaruqhullah Khan

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Sunday granted IndiGo CEO a one-time 24-hour extension to submit its response to the show-cause notice. The body said that the IndiGo’s functionaries on Sunday sought additional time for a response citing operational constraints due to the scale of its nationwide operations and multiple unavoidable factors.

“After reviewing the request, DGCA has extended the deadline only until 1800 hrs on 08 December 2025, with a clear direction that no further extensions will be permitted,” Hindustan Times reported quoting the DGCA.

ANI has shared a list of IndiGo flights cancelled at Pune Airport.

Amid the flight cancellation crisis, IndiGo has been granted extension till 6 pm tomorrow (December 8) to answer DGCA’s show cause notice.

IndiGo cancelled more than 650 flights on Sunday, while over ₹610 crore worth of ticket refunds were processed for the affected passengers, PTI reported.

IndiGo generally operates around 2,300 flights daily; however, on Sunday, it said it would operate 1,650 flights, which is higher than the 1,500 flights it flew on Saturday, according to PTI.

Kannada activist Vatal Nagaraj staged a sit-in demonstration on the Bengaluru-Hyderabad highway in protest against disruptions to IndiGo flight operations. Speaking to reporters, Nagaraj said continuous disruptions in IndiGo’s flight operations were causing hardship to passengers, but neither PM Narendra Modi nor CM Siddaramaiah had commented on the issue.
