IndiGo crisis: Airline didn’t pay attention to norms, will face action – Murlidhar Mohol

PUNE: IndiGo was aware of revised Flight Duty Time Limitation (FDTL) norms but did not comply, junior civil aviation minister Murlidhar Mohol said Sunday amid outrage and chaos sparked by cancellations and delays at India’s largest airline due to its failure to plan for the new rules on pilots.

“This problem happened because IndiGo didn’t pay attention to FDTL regulations. We have issued a show-cause to the airline’s CEO. After knowing about the revised FDTL norms, IndiGo should have acted immediately but failed to do so,” Mohol said in Pune.
