IndiGo, Air India and SpiceJet call DGCA’s proposed cabin crew rest regulations ‘more restrictive’ than global norms

IndiGo, Air India, and SpiceJet have called the proposed cabin crew rest norms “more restrictive” than international standards and give limited operational flexibility for the airlines, according to a report by PTI.
