‘Almost 3 days, I’m yet to get my bag’:  Indigo cancels 121 flights in Mumbai

IndiGo added that cancellations were issued earlier in the day to provide passengers greater notice, and that refund and luggage processes were “in full action” at all affected airports.

Despite the improvement, the ground reality is not getting any better as many passengers in Mumbai continue to face long delays, repeated rescheduling, and persistent baggage issues.

Anand Parmar, who was set to fly from Mumbai to Chennai on Friday evening, said his flight was cancelled after he checked in. Since then, he has been trying to trace his luggage. “It is almost the third day today, but I still haven’t gotten my luggage. I’ve been calling customer care and waiting in queues at the airport. There is still no clarity on where my bag is. I am exhausted,” he said.

Airport officials said baggage tracing teams are still working through large backlogs created over the past few days, and the unusually high volume of disrupted flights has slowed clearance.

Mumbai has recorded a steady escalation in cancellations through the week. On Tuesday, the city saw 29 arrivals and 26 departures cancelled. This rose sharply to 85 cancellations on Wednesday. Thursday witnessed the heaviest impact, with estimates ranging from 100 to 118 cancellations across the day. Friday recorded another 104 cancellations. Saturday marked the highest impact of the week with 146 cancellations between midnight and 8 pm.

While Sunday’s total dipped to 112, officials said operations remain unstable and further adjustments may occur later in the night.

IndiGo said it expects network stabilisation by December 10, advancing its earlier timeline of December 10 to 15.
