IndiGo on Saturday said it is taking urgent measures to bring its network back to normal after days of widespread disruptions that left travellers stuck at airports across the country.

In a statement, the airline said the number of cancelled flights has now fallen to under 850, a noticeable improvement from previous days. IndiGo urged passengers to check their updated flight status online before heading to the airport and to apply for refunds if their flights were affected.

“IndiGo is making every effort to stabilise operations across the network. Our teams are working on streamlining schedules, minimising delays, and assisting passengers during this challenging period. The cancellations today have dropped significantly compared to yesterday, and we expect further improvement in the coming days,” the airline said.

The carrier added that customer refunds are being processed on priority and that it is coordinating closely with airports and service partners to ensure passengers receive timely notifications both online and at terminals.

Despite these efforts, disruptions remained extensive on Saturday. Data from multiple airports showed heavy cancellations across major hubs.
