‍NEW DELHI — IndiGo (6E) reports its flight operations have returned to normal following several days of network-wide disruption, confirming that all services currently published on its website are operating under an adjusted but stable schedule. The airline said the recovery follows “significant and steady improvement” across its system.

The airline says it is operating more than 1,800 flights today, connecting all 138 stations in its domestic and international network, with plans to operate nearly 1,900 flights tomorrow. The carrier also said its on-time performance has returned to normal levels following operational optimization measures.

Baggage Recovery, Customer Support

IndiGo reported that nearly all delayed baggage resulting from the disruption has now been delivered to customers, with teams continuing efforts to clear the remaining backlog as quickly as possible.

To ease the recovery process for affected passengers, the airline has also automated full refunds for canceled flights, allowing customers to receive reimbursement through a simplified online process with what it described as “no questions asked.”

Passengers have been advised to check real-time flight status before traveling to the airport and to use IndiGo’s online channels for any refund-related assistance.

IndiGo apologized for the disruption and acknowledged the inconvenience caused to customers during the recovery period.

What This Means for the Industry

Scale cuts both ways. IndiGo’s rapid return to near-full flying highlights the resilience of large, high-frequency networks—but also how disruptions can ripple quickly when volumes reach nearly 2,000 flights per day.

Automation is becoming table stakes. “No-questions-asked” automated refunds reflect rising passenger expectations and regulatory pressure for faster, frictionless handling of disruptions.

Operational recovery is now a public metric. Airlines are increasingly judged not just on disruptions, but on transparency, baggage recovery speed, and visible normalization timelines.

India’s air system remains capacity-dense. IndiGo’s ability to restore connectivity across 138 stations underscores the critical role large domestic carriers play in maintaining network continuity in high-growth aviation markets.
