Aviation Regulator Demands Explanation For Flight Disruptions
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has issued a show cause notice to IndiGo’s CEO, Pieter Elbers, and its COO, Isidre Porqueras, following severe disruptions to the airline’s network. The issue arises from the alleged failure to implement the Flight Duty Time Limitation (FDTL) regulations, leading to the cancellation of hundreds of flights and stranding of passengers. IndiGo has since claimed to have restored over 95% of its operations, but the notice compels the executives to provide an explanation for the disruptions. This development was reported by AeroTime.
