Fog-induced chaos: Regulators impose fines on 3 airlines, Mumbai airport
Aviation safety regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and aviation security regulator Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) on Wednesday came down heavily on three airlines — IndiGo, SpiceJet and Air India as well as Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL) — for violating multiple rules amid fog-induced flight disruptions since Sunday morning.
The DGCA and BCAS imposed total fines of Rs 2.7 crore on the four major aviation sector players.
The BCAS has imposed fines of Rs 1.2 crore on IndiGo and Rs 60 lakh on Adani group-run MIAL for letting passengers of IndiGo’s Goa-Delhi flight roam around, sit and eat on tarmac.
