The share price of Indigo airlines' parent firm InterGlobe Aviation declined as much as 3.30% in Thursday's trading session to hit an intra-day low of Rs 5407.30 apiece on BSE, brought down post disruptions in the company's day-to-day operations.

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Wednesday launched a probe into IndiGo’s widespread operational disruptions and directed the airline to submit a mitigation plan to prevent future cancellations and delays.

Over 1,200 flights cancelled during the review period, as per DGCA.

Meanwhile, the majority of disruptions have been credited to crew shortage and compliance with new FDTL (Flight Duty Time Limit) norms.

As per the latest update, the civil aviation regulatory body has demanded mitigation plans and is probing Indigo's operational lapses. 

This comes in after the crisis at India's aviation major keeps widening. Over 30 Indigo flights that were scheduled to depart from Delhi were cancelled early Thursday, sources told Republic Media Network.

Hyderabad saw about 33 flights cancellations, while over 70 Indigo flights had been cancelled from Bengaluru today. 

The internal crisis at Indigo now proves to be a downside for other aviation players in India as the Gurgaon-headquartered airline has occupied 9 out of 10 bays in Pune, sparking ground-level concerns. 

Meanwhile, several instances of passengers sharing their plight on social media have garnered widespread attention with tales of flight delays from anywhere between 3 - 8 hours coming to light.

In an official statement dated December 4, 2025, the passenger carrier said, " We acknowledge that IndiGo’s operations have been significantly disrupted
across the network for the past two days, and we sincerely apologise to our customers for the inconvenience caused." 

"A multitude of unforeseen operational challenges including minor technology glitches, schedule changes linked to the winter season, adverse weather conditions, increased congestion in the aviation system and the implementation of updated crew rostering rules (Flight Duty Time Limitations) had a negative
compounding impact on our operations in a way that was not feasible to be anticipated," it said. 

As of 12:09 PM, the share price of InterGlobe Aviation was 1.59 per cent lower at Rs 5503.40 apiece.
