IndiGo Restores FDTL Compliance, Boosts Crew Deployment to 7.2 Sets Per Aircraft

  • IndiGo has returned to full compliance with Flight Duty Time Limitation (FDTL) norms.
  • Crew deployment increased to 7.2 sets per aircraft in February, up from under six in November-December.
  • The increase aligns the airline with revised DGCA duty-hour and rest regulations.
  • Operational stress in December was due to utilization issues, not pilot headcount, after stricter DGCA norms.
  • The new deployment model aims for a more compliance-focused and disruption-resistant operation.
