Foreign media: India's largest airline, IndiGo, has caused chaos in air travel due to a shortage of pilots leading to thousands of flight cancellations, which is the biggest crisis in its 20-year history.
December 6 was the fifth day of flight cancellations. To alleviate the chaos, the Indian government limited other airlines from increasing ticket prices and provided special exemptions for IndiGo, allowing it to temporarily not comply with the new pilot working hour restriction rules. IndiGo plans to resume normal operations between December 10 and 15.
The flight attendants' union strongly opposed the government's exemption measures, believing that it could endanger flight safety.
