India’s budget carrier IndiGo on Wednesday addressed ongoing flight delays, citing multiple causes such as technical issues, airport congestion, and operational requirements. The airline stated that its teams are working diligently to restore normal operations as soon as possible. An IndiGo spokesperson added that affected passengers are being offered alternative flights or refunds.

“We have experienced unavoidable delays and some cancellations recently due to technical problems, airport congestion, and operational needs. Our teams are actively working to normalise operations, and we are providing alternate flights or refunds to impacted customers. We regret the inconvenience caused,” the spokesperson said.

The statement follows disruptions at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) in Hyderabad, where several flights were delayed, diverted, or cancelled on Tuesday due to operational issues and low visibility. Airport authorities advised passengers to check real-time updates with airlines as disruptions continued on Wednesday.

Sources reported that two incoming flights to Hyderabad on Tuesday were diverted because of low visibility: flight XY325 from Riyadh went to Mumbai, and flight 6E 352 from Pune was redirected to Bengaluru. Additional diversions were possible depending on weather conditions. Multiple departures from Hyderabad, including flights 6E 409 (HYD-VTZ), 6E 785 (HYD-BOM), 6E 944 (HYD-CCU), 6E 2256 (HYD-DEL), and 6E 5003 (HYD-BOM), were also delayed, leaving passengers waiting at counters for assistance as delays extended overnight.
