MUMBAI: Acute shortage of pilots along with notice to airmen (NOTAMs) at some airports forced IndiGo to cancel around 130 flights on Friday, causing inconvenience to passengers at various airports, a source said.
The cancelled flights account for almost 10 per cent of the airline’s operations across the country, the source said. The Gurgaon-based budget carrier operates over 1,300 flights per day with a fleet of 210 planes.
“IndiGo has cancelled around 130 flights on Friday as it continues
to face shortage of pilots,” the source said. A query sent to IndiGo officials remained unanswered.
The low-cost airline has been cancelling flights since last Saturday
after rain and hailstorm hit the Delhi-NCR region last week. (AGENCIES)
