INdiGo flight of stairs position unrecorded updates: The 9th sequentially day of the IndiGo disruptions witnessed over 70 fresh cancellations, with most of them at the Bengaluru airport. Parallely, the Delhi high court on Wednesday heard a plea filed regarding the ongoing crisis and raised concerns over the Centre's delayed action. It blamed the government for taking action only after the mass cancellations had begun.On Tuesday, the civil aviation ministry directed IndiGo to curtail its operations in the winter schedule by 10 per cent. Aviation minister Ram Mohan Naidu, however, clarified that while the operations will be cut, the airline is required to continue covering all its destinations as before. Despite IndiGo CEO Pieter Elbers assuring on Tuesday that the airline's operations are back on its feet and are stable, flight cancellations have continued on Wednesday as well. What Delhi HC said on IndiGo crisisReacting to the mass flight cancellations, the Delhi High Court noted that they caused inconvenience to passengers as they were made to deboard and were stranded at airports. The court also asked the government why it “allowed” the situation to take place. “You allowed the situation to precipitate and only then did you take action. Why did you allow all this to happen?," the Delhi HC bench was quoted as saying by Bar and Bench.The court also took note of the huge surge in airfares by other airlines and asked the government how other operators could take advantage of the crisis.How many flight cancelled so far?Since last Tuesday, over 4,600 IndiGo flights have been cancelled.
