INdiGo flight of steps of stairs position unrecorded updates: The disruptions in the indigofera tinctoria flight operations entered their 8th consecutive day on Tuesday, with over 400 flight cancellations across Bengaluru, Delhi, Hyderabad and Mumbai, among other airports. The crisis was also echoed in the Parliament, with civil aviation minister Ram Mohan Naidu sharing updates on refunds, baggage claim and more.With IndiGo experiencing disruptions and cancellations across the country, aviation watchdog DGCA curtailed the airline's winter flight schedule by 5 per cent, saying that IndiGo couldn't handle the operations efficiently.IndiGo is the largest domestic carrier in the country and commands 60 per cent of India’s domestic market. The airline operates 2,200 flights a day in the winter schedule.Here are key updates on the IndiGo chaos:Nearly 5,000 cancellations so far: The mass cancellations of IndiGo flights began on Tuesday last week, with nearly 5,000 flights being cancelled since. Over 400 cancellations were seen on Tuesday itself, even as the airline said the situation was returning to normalcy. On Monday, IndiGo saw over 500 fresh cancellations, stranding several passengers on airports.Breakdown of cancellations today:Delhi - 152 (76 arrivals and 76 departures)Bengaluru - 121 (58 arrivals and 63 departures)Hyderabad - 58 (14 arrivals and 44 departures)Ahmedabad - 16 (9 arrivals and 7 departures)Chennai - 41 (23 arrivals and 18 departures)Mumbai - 3 (14 arrivals and 17 departures)Thiruvananthapuram - 4 (1 arrival and 3 departures)Why the delays and cancellations? The reason behind the big disruption is being attributed to the airline's failure to implement the second phase of the updated Flight Duty Time Limitations (FDTL) that came into effect in November. The rules aimed at reducing fatigue and improving rest periods for pilots, but IndiGo had reportedly been facing a pilot shortage.Govt relaxes roster norms: With the current situation severely impacting passengers, aviation regulator DGCA temporarily relaxed the flight duty norms that dealt with night-duty requirements, rules governing duties that stretch into night hours, and the mandatory weekly rest rule for pilots. This measure was also taken to ease pressure on crew rosters. IndiGo didn't flag problems before chaos? Responding to a question in the Rajya Sabha on Monday, civil aviation minister Ram Mohan Naidu said that IndiGo didn't flag any problems during a key meeting on December 1, just one day before the airline started seeing mass cancellations. Naidu squarely blamed IndiGo's "internal system" and defended the crew roster norms.
