Brief Overview of Indigo’s Pilot Shortage Crisis
IndiGo experienced a significant operational issue in December 2025, with over 2,100 flights cancelled, affecting thousands of passengers nationwide. The underlying cause was a significant pilot shortage caused by the implementation of new Flight Duty Time Limitations (FDTL) designed to ensure proper pilot rest. Despite a 24-month lead time, the airline was unprepared for these regulations, resulting in personnel shortages and considerable inconvenience.
