Major Airline Grounds Delhi Flights, Disrupting Travel Across India

IndiGo, India's largest airline, has canceled all its domestic flights departing from Delhi until midnight Friday. The sudden move follows a nationwide technical failure in the airline's check-in systems. The disruption stranded thousands of passengers and caused significant delays across the country's air network. IndiGo operates the biggest share of India's domestic flights, making its cancellations highly impactful. In a statement, the airline attributed the problem to a "system network outage." It advised affected passengers to monitor its website and app for updates on rescheduled flights. Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport is a major national hub. The cancellations are causing ripple effects, delaying connecting flights to other cities. Travelers are urged to confirm their flight status before heading to the airport.
