Airlines Aviation

IndiGo, a subsidiary of IndiGo, is facing significant operational disruptions, including widespread flight cancellations, which have caused inconvenience to thousands of passengers across India. These disruptions are attributed to IndiGo's inadequate planning for the implementation of revised Flight Duty Time Limitations (FDTL) rules. In response, the India — Directorate General of Civil Aviation (India) has issued show-cause notices to IndiGo's CEO, Pieter Elbers, and its accountable manager, extending deadlines for their responses and threatening enforcement action. The regulatory pressure has led to a sharp decline in IndiGo's share price on the JSE Limited.
