CCI scrutinizes IndiGo dominance amid flight cancellations

• IndiGo is under review by the Competition Commission of India (CCI) for potential abuse of dominance.
• The assessment follows severe operational disruptions and flight cancellations by IndiGo earlier this month.
• CCI is examining if IndiGo's over 65% market share contributed to the crisis, potentially violating Section 4 of the Competition Act.
• The inquiry is suo motu, based on public information, to determine if a formal investigation is warranted.
• Disruptions are linked to IndiGo's inadequate planning for new flight duty time limitations (FDTL) norms.
