IndiGo probes flight disruptions, denies pilot crunch

  • IndiGo will conduct a "root cause analysis" into recent widespread flight disruptions, with full normalisation expected by December 10.
  • The airline denies a pilot crunch, stating it has sufficient pilots but lacks a buffer compared to other carriers.
  • Disruptions were attributed to a combination of factors, including new FDTL norms reducing pilot night landings.
  • The DGCA has issued show-cause notices to IndiGo's CEO and Accountable Manager regarding the operational failures.
  • Flight operations are gradually improving, with 1,650 flights expected Sunday, up from 1,500 Saturday.
