IndiGo Crisis: YSRCP Targets Minister Rammohan Naidu Amid Flight Chaos

• IndiGo canceled over 470 flights due to insufficient staff after new DGCA Flight Duty Time Limitation (FDTL) rules, causing nationwide passenger inconvenience.
• The crisis stems from IndiGo's failure to prepare for the FDTL rules, unlike other airlines, despite having 60% market share.
• Thousands of passengers were stranded at major airports, facing flight cancellations, lack of amenities, and skyrocketing ticket prices on other airlines.
• Union Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu temporarily postponed FDTL rules, summoned IndiGo officials, and imposed measures like ticket price caps and automatic refunds.
• The YSRCP is criticizing Minister Naidu for the crisis, while the TDP and Naidu himself blame IndiGo's mismanagement and lack of preparedness.
