Indigo crisis: ‘Exemplary’ action on airline likely as DGCA tables report

NEW DELHI: The stage is now set for “exemplary” government action against IndiGo — a likely combination of steep fines along with regulatory glare on some airline officials, among other things — for its schedule collapse earlier his month that affected over 5,000 flights and left lakhs of passengers stranded.

DGCA on Friday evening submitted its report on the “circumstances leading to operational disruptions” to the civil aviation ministry, which is also expected to shed light on why only the airline’s domestic network collapsed while international flights were barely affected.
