The airline warned passengers of extended waiting times on the ground and onboard, and urged them to check its website for updates. Livemint reported over 20 cancellations: 10 IndiGo flights at Gannavaram Airport in Vijayawada and 11 at Chennai Airport, including routes to Vijayawada, Rajahmundry, Kadapa and Tiruchirappalli.
