India's largest airline IndiGo faces severe operational disruptions with over 200 flights cancelled and hundreds delayed across major airports, affecting thousands of passengers. The crisis stems from new Flight Duty Time Limitation rules implemented on November 1, acute crew shortages, technical glitches at major airports, and winter congestion. Unlike competitors, IndiGo's extensive network and night-time operations make adaptation particularly challenging.
