Major airports in India were thrown into chaos today as passengers of the country's largest airline, IndiGo, struggled to cope with widespread disruptions and flight cancellations caused by new regulations that limit crew and pilot working hours. Scenes of frustration were seen at the airports, where passengers slept on the floor, waited for hours in lines at customer service desks, and waited with no clear communication from the airline. Today marked the fourth consecutive day of disruptions, as the low-cost airline grapples with new rules that mandate longer rest periods and restrict nighttime flying to address fatigue and safety concerns. The first phase of the rules took effect in July, with the second phase launching in November. IndiGo has faced difficulties in adjusting its schedules in time, leading to widespread cancellations and disruptions.
