IndiGo has requested more time to respond to a Show Cause Notice issued on December 6, following a major disruption that affected its flight network across the country. The airline confirmed that it had received the notice from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and requested more time to submit a full reply. In a letter to the regulator, Isidre Porqueras Orea, IndiGo`s Accountable Manager and Chief Operating Officer, sought an extension.

"We request your good offices to kindly grant us an extension of time at least till 1800 hours tomorrow (i.e. 08.12.2025), or such other extended period to reply as deemed fit," he wrote in the official reply. The DGCA issued the Show Cause Notice to IndiGo CEO Pieter Elbers after widespread cancellations and delays triggered anger among passengers nationwide.
