55% IndiGo domestic flights delayed; DGCA to probe

Several IndiGo flights across the country were delayed after the non-availability of crew members, news agency ANI reported on Sunday. On Saturday, 55% of its domestic flights were delayed as a significant number of cabin crew members took sick leave, with sources in the industry saying they ostensibly went for an Air India recruitment drive.

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has taken strong cognizance against IndiGo and demanded a clarification behind the massive flight delays nationwide. When asked about this matter, DGCA chief Arun Kumar told PTI on Sunday, “We are looking into this.”
