A major air travel crisis has unfolded in Madhya Pradesh as Indigo Airlines cancelled more than 65 flights due to DGCA’s new regulations and internal planning issues. The biggest impact is visible at Indore and Bhopal airports, where thousands of passengers were left troubled by sudden flight cancellations.
From Bhopal Airport alone, 18 flights to Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and other major cities were cancelled, affecting more than 3,600 passengers. Meanwhile, Indore reported cancellations of 36 flights. Many passengers stated that they did not receive timely cancellation messages from the airline, leaving them unaware of the situation until they reached the airport.
The situation worsened when other airlines significantly increased their fares. Passengers were forced to pay an additional ₹20,000 to ₹25,000 for a single ticket due to sudden demand. Indigo is currently attempting to normalize its operations, but for now, the difficulties faced by passengers do not appear to be easing.
