IndiGo cancels 200+ flights; pilots decry 'unsafe' duty norm relief

• IndiGo cancelled over 200 flights from Delhi and Mumbai on Saturday.
• Cancellations followed DGCA granting temporary relaxations to IndiGo on flight duty and rest period (FDTL) norms for pilots.
• Pilots' body, ALPA India, strongly objected to the DGCA's "selective and unsafe" relief, citing heightened risk and undermining judicial authority.
• The Ministry of Civil Aviation has placed the implementation of the revised FDTL CAR in abeyance.

Why It Matters: Your flights could be cancelled or unsafe due to pilot duty rule changes.
