Between December 2-15, the airline cancelled 2,000-4,000 flights, stranding over 180,000 passengers. The crisis peaked on December 5 with 1,600 cancellations in a single day. The main causes were: 1. New FDTL (Flight Duty Time Limitations) rules implemented November 2024, reducing pilot flying hours by 20-25% 2. Poor planning by IndiGo despite having advance notice 3. Their "lean and mean" business model with no backup resources The government granted temporary exemption from FDTL rules until February 2026, imposed a 10% flight cut on IndiGo, ordered an inquiry, and issued a show cause notice to the CEO. The crisis raised serious concerns about market concentration, with IndiGo and Air India controlling 92% of India's aviation market. This documentary provides a complete analysis of what happened, why it happened, and its implications for India's aviation future.
