A Public Interest Litigation is scheduled for hearing in the Delhi High Court, addressing alleged widespread rule violations by IndiGo Airlines. The petition cites arbitrary flight cancellations, overbooking, and disregard for passenger rights, contributing to the ongoing aviation crisis.
The litigation seeks an independent judicial probe into IndiGo's mass flight cancellations. It also calls for the Centre to provide immediate essential facilities to passengers stranded at airports nationwide and for IndiGo to submit a detailed compliance affidavit.
Further, the PIL urges the Directorate General of Civil Aviation and the Ministry of Civil Aviation to establish a mandatory compensation mechanism for affected passengers and prevent ticket price surges. IndiGo anticipates full operational stabilization by February 10, 2026.
