IndiGo Airlines canceled six flights to Lucknow and six flights from Lucknow to other cities due to operational and crew-related issues.

Passengers faced inconvenience due to the sudden flight cancellations.
According to airport sources, the IndiGo flights that were cancelled include flights from major cities of the country like Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Pune and Ahmedabad, as well as flights coming from Dubai.

The flights cancelled on Thursday were 6E338 – from Pune, 6E608 – from Hyderabad, 6E2442 – from Mumbai, IX194 – from Dubai, 6E277 – from Ahmedabad, and 6E6614 – from Delhi.

IndiGo is currently facing significant operational challenges across the country. New DGCA duty-time regulations have disrupted pilot and crew schedules, increased crew shortages on many routes, and system glitches and congestion at airports have added to the difficulties.

Due to these reasons, hundreds of flights across the country have been affected in the last week, and Lucknow has also been affected by it.
