DGCA slaps Rs 30 lakh fine on IndiGo for systemic deficiencies
Aviation watchdog DGCA on Friday imposed a Rs 30 lakh fine on IndiGo for certain systemic deficiencies with respect to documentation pertaining to operations, training and engineering procedures.
The country’s largest airline witnessed four tail strike incidents on A321 aircraft within a span of six months this year, following which the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) carried out a special audit in June.
In a statement, IndiGo said it is examining the DGCA order and will respond to it in due time.
The regulator said that during the special audit, it reviewed the airline’s documentation and procedure on operations, training, engineering and FDM programme.
