IndiGo tells India regulator that operations will be stable after exemptions expire
- The country’s largest airline faced unprecedented disruption in December due to poor pilot roster planning
NEW DELHI: IndiGo has told India’s aviation regulator it will maintain operational stability and have adequate flight crew for operations from February, the regulator said on Tuesday.
The country’s largest airline faced unprecedented disruption in December due to poor pilot roster planning.
India relaxed two provisions related to night duty for IndiGo pilots until February 10 to enable the airline to stabilise its operations, a move that had invited criticism from pilot unions and safety advocates.
India fines IndiGo a record USD2.45m after December flight cancellations
An IndiGo spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Earlier this month, India fined IndiGo $2.45 million, issued warnings to senior executives and directed the airline to remove the head of its operations control from his duties after the disruptions.
