On Wednesday, at least 67 flights were cancelled at Delhi airport, including both arriving and departing flights. 42 flights were cancelled in Bengaluru, 40 in Hyderabad, and 33 in Mumbai, causing inconvenience to a large number of passengers.
The airline issued a statement
In an official statement on Wednesday, the airline said that calibrated adjustments will be in place for the next 48 hours, allowing normal operations and gradually restoring punctuality across the network. In the statement, the company said that its teams are working around the clock to minimize passenger inconvenience and stabilize operations as soon as possible.
