IndiGo’s flight delays and cancellations stretched into the ninth straight day on Wednesday, prompting the aviation regulator to initiate an urgent review of the airline’s on-ground preparedness.

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) issued directives for immediate on-site inspections at 11 airports, citing widespread passenger inconvenience and large-scale operational disruptions.

In a notification dated December 10, the DGCA instructed its officers to visit the identified airports within 2–3 days and submit a comprehensive report within 24 hours of completing their inspection.

The regulator said the exercise is aimed at assessing passenger safety, operational readiness, facilitation measures, and the airline’s responsiveness during the ongoing crisis.
