The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Sunday sought a report from IndiGo after many of its flights were delayed on Saturday, due to crew unavailability. According to the aviation ministry’s website, 45.5% of the airline’s flights took off on time on Saturday and flight operations remained affected on Sunday too.
“We have seen the development and have sought a report from the concerned airline,” a DGCA official said.
Tata Group’s Air India and AI Express have been conducting walk-in interviews for hiring cabin crew. According to airline officials, the flights were delayed as many cabin crews reported sick and did not turn up for their scheduled flights.
