Pilots shortage causes India's largest airline to cancel thousands of flights.

Due to the Indian government's new regulations causing difficulties in pilot scheduling and other issues, IndiGo Airlines has cancelled thousands of flights for five consecutive days, leaving a large number of passengers stranded at airports. In just one day on the 5th, IndiGo Airlines cancelled over 1000 flights. On the 6th, IndiGo Airlines cancelled a total of 385 flights in cities such as Bangalore, Mumbai, New Delhi, and Hyderabad. In addition, there have been long delays in flights at airports in New Delhi, Mumbai, and other cities in recent days. According to a report from Reuters on the 3rd, chaos reigned at IndiGo Airlines counters at the New Delhi airport, with passengers expressing high levels of anger. The Indian government announced on the 5th that IndiGo Airlines could delay the implementation of the new regulations until February 10 next year. IndiGo Airlines subsequently stated that flights were expected to gradually return to normal between the 10th and 15th of this month. The "flight cancellation wave" by IndiGo Airlines has pushed up ticket prices on popular routes for other Indian airlines. The Indian Civil Aviation Department announced on the 6th that it would implement price controls on tickets, but did not disclose specific price limits.
