Dec. 5 (UPI) -- More than 1,000 flights in India have been canceled Friday by IndiGo, the country's most popular local airline, after the company struggled to follow new pilot rest rules.
On Tuesday, IndiGo started canceling flights, citing a lack of crew members. On Friday, it canceled every departure from New Delhi Airport, the busiest airport in the country.
IndiGo is India's largest airline. It has about 2,300 flights per day, with 118 million passenger arrivals last year. The company said operations will return to normal by Feb. 10.
In a video statement, CEO Pieter Elbers said a "reboot" of systems and schedules caused the cancellations.
