IndiGo Share Price Slips as InterGlobe Aviation Faces Widespread Operational Disruptions

InterGlobe Aviation, the operator of IndiGo, share price opened lower on 4 December as the airline continued dealing with significant network interruptions, large scale flight cancellations and regulatory scrutiny.

The carrier is still working to stabilise services, with further delays anticipated through the day.

At market open, the stock fell close to 2% before trimming part of the decline within the first half hour.

However, shares remained in negative territory. On the NSE, InterGlobe Aviation was last seen down 1.08%. On the BSE, the stock opened at ₹5,499, a decline of ₹93.50 from Wednesday’s close.

What Led to the Disruptions?

IndiGo cancelled more than 150 flights on Wednesday and reported widespread delays across its network.

The airline stated that operational challenges were largely driven by crew shortages, with additional pressure from technology issues and airport congestion.

A press note from IndiGo indicated it had to cancel 1,232 flights recently. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has initiated an inquiry and asked the airline to provide detailed reasons for the disruptions as well as its plans to restore normal operations.

• According to DGCA data for November:
• 755 cancellations were linked to crew- and Flight Duty Time Limit (FDTL)-related factors
• 258 were attributed to airspace and airport constraints
• 92 were due to air traffic control system issues
• 127 stemmed from other operational factors

The second phase of revised FDTL norms, implemented last month, is being viewed as a key contributor to the current challenges.
