Reportedly, a substantial number of planes in India remain grounded due to engine issues, supply-chain challenges, or financial difficulties. When an aircraft or its passengers are grounded, the plane is unable to take off. 

As of July 26, IndiGo, India’s largest airline, reported that approximately 70 of its 382 aircraft were out of service. This has resulted in a relatively slow increase in flight availability, impacting capacity growth on major routes.
