IndiGo Flights Cancellation: Following days of chaos across India caused by the widespread cancellation of IndiGo flights, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has formed a four-member committee to review the disruptions. The cancellations left thousands of passengers stranded at airports, causing confusion and frustration.
Union Minister of State for Civil Aviation and Cooperation Murlidhar Mohol on Saturday informed about DGCA’s four-member committee.
The committee will look into issues like crew planning, operational readiness, and compliance with new flight duty time regulations to prevent such incidents in the future.
Mohol also assured that the Ministry is taking all necessary steps to ensure smooth travel for passengers.
In a post on X, Murlidhar Mohol wrote, “DGCA has constituted a four-member committee to review the factors behind the recent large-scale operational disruptions in IndiGo Airlines. The committee will assess gaps in crew planning, operational preparedness and compliance with revised FDTL norms to prevent such incidents in the future.”
