IndiGo Crisis: Pilot Rest Rules Trigger Meltdown, Newlyweds Miss Reception Amid Chaos

On this Special Report, India Today's Executive Editor Preeti Choudhry anchors a comprehensive ground check on the escalating IndiGo airlines crisis. The country's largest carrier is facing a 'full-blown meltdown' with over 1,000 flight cancellations in three days, leaving thousands of passengers stranded from Delhi to Chennai. The crisis stems from the airline's failure to implement new government-mandated pilot rest rules (FDTL) effective from November 1st. The programme highlights the chaos at airports and bizarre incidents, including a newlywed couple forced to attend their reception virtually from Bhubaneswar airport. The report questions the accountability of IndiGo, the DGCA, and the Ministry of Civil Aviation.
