IndiGo's Winter Woes: DGCA Intervenes to Avert Future Disruptions

Following significant flight disruptions at IndiGo, the DGCA has formed a panel to investigate. The airline's winter schedule is cut by 10%. Authorities plan corrective measures based on the forthcoming report, while IndiGo focuses on resilience, analysis, and rebuilding.

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) is poised to implement significant corrective actions following a report by a four-member panel investigating recent massive flight disruptions at IndiGo, a top official stated on Friday.

In response to the disruptions earlier in the month, IndiGo's winter schedule has already been slashed by 10%, impacting the operations of the country's largest airline, which previously managed 2,300 flights daily. The panel is expected to finalize its report shortly, guiding further actions needed to prevent future issues.

Amidst this peak travel and fog season, both IndiGo and government officials stress the importance of maintaining a higher flight schedule to meet demand. IndiGo's CEO, Pieter Elbers, underscored the airline's commitment to strengthening resilience, conducting root-cause analysis, and facilitating rebuilding efforts.
