Flights have been cancelled, yet how are IndiGo tickets selling so fast? People are buying them even at three times the price.

News Topical, Digital Desk : Indigo Airlines has been struggling for several days. Flight cancellations have been ongoing since December 2nd. Indigo is canceling more than 500 flights daily. Despite this, tickets for Indigo flights are selling like hot cakes. Despite fare increases between several major cities, people are still buying Indigo tickets. Why?

The answer is clear: IndiGo has not cancelled all its flights. IndiGo operates over 2,220 domestic and international flights daily, and the vast majority of them are operating smoothly.

Why are Indigo tickets selling out?

Following DGCA guidelines, IndiGo flights have been cancelled only at certain airports and on certain dates. The highest number of cancellations occurred on Friday. IndiGo canceled over 1,000 flights across the country, including Delhi. However, many IndiGo flights are still operating on schedule in non-metro cities, including Kolkata, Guwahati, and Chennai.

It's worth noting that IndiGo is one of the country's largest airlines. IndiGo flights are rarely cancelled. However, in the last five days, IndiGo has broken all flight cancellation records. Considering the inconvenience to passengers, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) yesterday reversed its decision on the roster.

Why were flights cancelled even today?

IndiGo has canceled several flights today, which is believed to be due to a "system reboot." The chaos over the past five days has disrupted many flight schedules. In order to reschedule all flights and ensure normal operations, IndiGo has canceled some flights today.

When will the service be restored?

IndiGo Airlines controls 60 percent of the Indian aviation market. This is why the cancellation of some IndiGo flights caused panic across the country, and airfares skyrocketed. It is estimated that IndiGo services will resume between December 10-15.

Why did the ticket prices increase?

Flight cancellations between several major cities across the country have led to a surge in passenger traffic and a reduction in the number of flights. This increased demand has led to skyrocketing ticket prices. Fares on all busy routes, including Delhi, have increased by up to three times.

Indigo ticket booking continues

According to aviation protocol, flight bookings will continue until a formal cancellation is announced. This is why IndiGo's ticket booking window is also open, and people are booking flights despite the increased prices.
