55% IndiGo flights delayed on AI hiring day; DGCA to probe

The country’s aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has sought a clarification from IndiGo after 55% of its domestic flights got delayed on July 2 (Saturday), according to sources.

The flights were delayed on account of a significant number of IndiGo cabin crew members taking sick leaves on Saturday, the sources said, adding that most of them went for the second phase of the recruitment drive organised by Tata Group-owned Air India on the same day.
