IndiGo Crisis: How To Check Your Live Flight Status Online Amid Mass Cancellations | Step-By-Step Guide | India News

With over 250 flights estimated canceled on Thursday alone, and the airline’s On-Time Performance (OTP) crashing to a mere 19.7% on Wednesday, travelers are struggling to get reliable updates.
