DGCA deploys team to IndiGo office, summons CEO over flight disruptions

• DGCA has intensified scrutiny on IndiGo, deploying an Oversight Team to its corporate office in Gurugram.
• IndiGo CEO Pieter Elbers is summoned by DGCA on December 11 to provide data on operational disruptions.
• The Oversight Team will monitor fleet, pilot numbers, crew utilization, flight cancellations, refunds, and on-time performance.
• The increased scrutiny follows IndiGo's inadequate preparation for new Flight Duty Time Limitation (FDTL) rules, leading to widespread flight cancellations and passenger disruption.

Why It Matters: DGCA oversight on IndiGo protects passengers from airline operational failures.
