IndiGo Crew Caught In Traffic Snarls; Flight To Bhubaneswar Cancelled

New Delhi: In a move unheard of, in a while, in the aviation sector, private carrier IndiGo on Thursday cancelled its evening flight to Bhubaneswar and 18 other destinations as the airline crew failed to report for duty on time.

Flight no 6E 5035, which was scheduled to leave Delhi at 4.15 pm for Bhubaneswar, was cancelled as a fallout of the late arrival of the crew at the IGI airport.

According to a source in Delhi International Airport Limited, 19 IndiGo flights have been cancelled in all. Other airlines have also rescheduling their services.

The crew got stuck in traffic snarls while heading for the airport from Gurugram. Unlike other airlines, most IndiGo crew stay put in Gurugram, the source added.

Delhi police had imposed traffic restrictions since Thursday morning in the NCR in view of anti CAA protests. The worst hit has been the Delhi-Jaipur section of NH, which passes through Gurugram.

An Air India spokesperson said their flights have also been delayed but none has been cancelled.

Poor visibility in Delhi since morning and other factors also contributed to delays in arrival and departure at IGI airport.
