India, the world’s most populous country and widely considered the fastest-growing aviation market, has long been held back by poor competition in the industry. A country of nearly 1.5 billion (150 crore) people, the South Asian giant relies on only two major domestic carriers.

Amid IndiGo crisis that has left thousands of passengers stranded on airport after over 1000 flights were cancelled and delayed, the airline has shared a major update indicating improvements in the operation of the flights.

The unprecedented IndiGo crisis continued to impact passengers across the country on Saturday as more than 500 flights were cancelled, with the Kempegowda International Airport, which serves Bengaluru, being the worst-affected.
