IndiGo, one of the country's leading airlines, has been hit by operational disruptions, causing at least 150 flight cancellations, while several others were delayed, affecting thousands of fliers. Several videos surfaced showing scores of passengers waiting for hours to board flights. The chaos, which continued today, has also affected major cities such as Delhi, Bengaluru, Kolkata, and Hyderabad.
The situation has resulted in mounting frustration among passengers, many of whom have been left stranded at airports, claiming that there was no prior notice of changes to their travel plans.
The delays have left passengers anxious. If you are among the passengers who will be boarding a flight, here’s a complete step-by-step guide on how to check your flight status.
Here is a simple way to check IndiGo flight status using their website and mobile app. Here’s how you can do it:
Using the website
Go to IndiGo’s official website: goIndiGo.in
Click on the “Flight Status” tab at the top.
Choose how you want to search:
By flight number: Enter your 6-character IndiGo flight code (starts with 6E) and pick your travel date.
By route: Select your departure city, arrival city, and travel date.
Click “SEARCH.”
The results page shows all key details—scheduled and updated times, terminals, and current status. Delayed flights are highlighted in red, making them easy to spot.
Using the Mobile App (Easier Option)
Download and open the IndiGo app.
Tap “Flight Status” in the bottom menu.
Enter your flight details just like on the website.
The app is more user-friendly, with bigger buttons and clear status updates.
The budget carrier has attributed the disruption to several factors, including technology glitches, a shortage of crew due to updated regulatory requirements on crew rostering, among other reasons.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has initiated an investigation into the airline’s operations, requesting explanations and a clear plan to resolve the ongoing disruptions.
