Aviation Ministry orders probe into IndiGo crisis; eases duty time rules for airline

IndiGo’s flight schedules are expected to stabilise by Saturday and fully normalise within three days, civil aviation minister Ram Mohan Naidu said on Friday, as he ordered a high-level probe into the airline’s continued operational disruptions.

Naidu said the government has taken “urgent and proactive measures” after delays and cancellations left thousands of passengers stranded across major airports in the past few days. He said the probe will examine “what went wrong at IndiGo”, fix accountability “wherever required for appropriate actions”, and recommend steps to ensure passengers “do not face such hardships again”.
