IndiGo COO Grilled: Panel Calls Responses 'Evasive' Amid Airport Chaos

• IndiGo COO Isidro Porqueras faced a parliamentary panel over mass flight cancellations and airport disruptions.
• The panel found responses from IndiGo and the aviation regulator "evasive and unconvincing" regarding the chaos.
• Concerns were raised about whether the disruption was due to new FDTL norms or an "arms-twisting tactic" by IndiGo.
• The panel awaits the Civil Aviation Ministry's inquiry report, expected by December 28, before concluding accountability.
• Thousands of passengers were stranded, and MPs flagged sharp airfare increases during the disruption.
