Supreme Court declines to intervene in IndiGo flight crisis despite widespread delays and passenger distress.

The Supreme Court declined an urgent plea concerning widespread IndiGo flight cancellations that stranded hundreds of thousands across India, noting the central government had acknowledged the crisis and taken action. The court recognized the disruptions, caused by pilot shortages and regulatory changes, but deferred to ongoing government efforts. A related Delhi High Court petition on December 10 seeks refunds and better support for affected travelers.
