Several SpiceJet services at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport were delayed or cancelled on Saturday, 19 September 2026, after an operational disruption affected parts of the airline’s schedule.

Delhi Airport said its teams were working with SpiceJet and relevant stakeholders to support affected travellers and help normalise operations. Passengers were advised to check their latest flight status with the airline or seek help from airport teams before proceeding through the terminal.

What happened at Delhi Airport?

Current reports indicate that a number of SpiceJet departures and arrivals were disrupted during the day, with some services delayed and others cancelled. The airport described the situation as an operational disruption affecting some SpiceJet flights rather than a closure of the airport itself.

That distinction matters for passengers: Delhi Airport continued handling flights from other carriers while teams focused on travellers booked on affected SpiceJet services.

Airport teams assisting passengers

Delhi Airport said ground teams were coordinating with the airline and other stakeholders to provide assistance. Travellers whose flights were affected were encouraged to confirm revised departure times, cancellation status and rebooking options directly with SpiceJet.

The disruption comes only days after passengers on some Delhi–Dubai SpiceJet services faced exceptionally long delays and protests were reported at Terminal 3. Those earlier incidents involved different flights and should not automatically be treated as the direct cause of Saturday’s wider operational disruption.

What passengers should do

Passengers booked on SpiceJet services through Delhi should check the airline’s live flight-status tools before leaving for the airport, allow extra time for rebooking or baggage arrangements, and retain booking confirmations and receipts where disruption creates additional expenses.

Where a flight is cancelled or significantly delayed, travellers should ask the airline about the options available under the applicable ticket conditions and Indian passenger-protection rules. Eligibility can vary depending on the reason for the disruption, the length of the delay and whether an alternative service is offered.

Delhi Airport remains operational

There was no indication that Indira Gandhi International Airport as a whole had suspended operations. The disruption was reported in connection with some SpiceJet flights, while the airport continued coordinating normal traffic and assisting affected passengers.

FlyingEze will update this report if SpiceJet or Delhi Airport releases additional operational details, revised schedules or further passenger guidance.
