IndiGo Airlines confirmed on Friday it had received four show-cause notices from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) issued to senior officials in the airline’s Flight Operations and Safety Department. “This is under review by the company,” the airline said.
IndiGo, which enjoys a market share of over 49 per cent, is currently seeing a war of words between co-founders Rakesh Gangwal and Rahul Bhatia on issues related to corporate governance.
Show-cause notices were issued to Sanjiv Bhalla, Head of Training; Hemant Kumar, Chief of Flight Safety; Ashim Mitra, Senior Vice-President, Operations; and Rakesh Srivastava, Quality Assurance and Operations Safety, after the DGCA special audit team found multiple safety lapses.
