Civil Aviation Minister K Rammohan Naidu has announced a series of operational measures aimed at addressing the disruptions impacting IndiGo flights. Among the measures is the suspension of new flight duty norms, a decision intended to assist in the swift restoration of services which is expected to complete in the next three days.

The government has launched a high-level inquiry to determine the causes behind the numerous IndiGo cancellations and delays experienced over the past four days. This move underscores the seriousness with which the aviation ministry is addressing the situation and seeking accountability.

The ministry's proactive approach includes placing the Flight Duty Time Limitations (FDTL) orders on hold. This decision, taken without compromising air safety, is meant to prioritize passengers, particularly senior citizens and those with essential travel needs, ensuring timely air services are reinstated.
