Frequently Asked Questions — IndiGo Flight Status
How do I check IndiGo flight status?
Visit the official IndiGo flight status page at https://www.goindigo.in/flight-status.html. Enter your flight number (e.g. 6E 204) or the route (origin–destination). The page shows live departure and arrival times, current gate, and whether the flight is on time, delayed, or cancelled. You can also use FlightAware or FlightRadar24 for third-party tracking.
What does "IndiGo flight delayed" mean?
Under DGCA rules (for Indian carriers), a flight is officially "delayed" when its departure is 15 minutes or more past the scheduled time. The airline must notify passengers and, for delays exceeding 3 hours, provide meals and refreshments. For delays exceeding 24 hours, hotel accommodation must be offered. Check the IndiGo app for real-time alerts.
How early should I check IndiGo flight status?
Check 2–3 hours before your scheduled departure. Status updates become more frequent as the departure approaches — typically refreshing every 5–10 minutes once the aircraft is inbound. For very early morning flights, check the evening before as well, since overnight delays from the previous sector can affect your departure.
Can I track IndiGo flights on AirSewa?
Yes. AirSewa (airsewa.gov.in) is a DGCA-backed flight tracking and grievance platform that covers all DGCA-registered airlines including IndiGo. Enter your flight number to see live status. The AirSewa mobile app also lets you file complaints directly if your flight is delayed or cancelled.
What happens if my IndiGo flight is cancelled?
Under DGCA regulations, if IndiGo cancels your flight, you are entitled to either a full refund to the original payment method or a complimentary rebooking on the next available IndiGo flight to the same destination. If less than 2 weeks' notice was given, you may also be eligible for denied boarding compensation. Contact IndiGo customer care or raise a complaint on AirSewa.
Does IndiGo send flight status alerts?
