How the IndiGo Crisis Began
The IndiGo crisis began when the company failed to comply with new regulations. India's aviation sector regulator, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), launched the second and final phase of new flight duty time limitation rules in November. The first phase was implemented in July after a delay of almost a year.
In November, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation issued new rules aimed at improving crew safety and rest hours. This included increasing weekly rest periods and modifying rules for night duty.
What is the current situation?
In a statement issued on Sunday, IndiGo said that its board of directors has formed a crisis management group to address the ongoing flight cancellations and delays across the country. This decision was made after an emergency board meeting on the first day of the crisis.
