“As services gradually return to normal, there may still be a few delays and last-minute adjustments. We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding as our teams work diligently to restore seamless operations,” said IndiGo in its social media post on X.

IndiGo also said that if the travellers still want to change their travel dates, or want to cancel their bookings, they can do so as the fee waiver for the same will be available till May 22, 2025, for travel back and forth from the affected airports, according to the official announcement.
