Mumbai: Low-cost carrier IndiGo has become the first Indian airline to implement the ‘Digital E-logbook’ for its pilots, which will provide a direct flight data transfer from IndiGo systems to regulator DGCA’s digital governance initiative, eGCA. This will bring in transparency in operational logs and improve safety and efficiency.
The carrier, which operates over half of India’s domestic flights, began implementing the initiative from December 1. “We are proud to partner with DGCA in this leap towards digitalisation in Indian aviation,” said Captain Ashim Mitra, Senior Vice-President, Flight Operations, IndiGo.
The automated process will ensure that the flying hours entered in the eGCA e-logbook have consistency in data and format for all stakeholders.
