DGCA Withdraws New Pilot Rest Rule After Massive IndiGo Flight Cancellation Chaos Across India

Описание: India’s aviation sector witnessed a dramatic day as the DGCA withdrew its newly introduced weekly pilot rest norm following unprecedented disruptions triggered by IndiGo. More than 1,000 flights were cancelled in four days across major hubs such as Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai and Hyderabad. The chaos exposed deep operational planning failures at India’s largest airline, which operates over 2,200 flights daily. IndiGo admitted to “misjudgment and planning gaps” in adapting to new fatigue rules meant to protect pilots from overwork. As cancellations crossed 600 in just 48 hours, airports buckled under pressure. Delhi alone saw over 220 flights scrapped in a single day. Aviation insiders say the new FDTL fatigue rules were not the problem, IndiGo’s inability to implement them was. With passenger fury growing and OTP crashing to 8.5%, the DGCA’s rare U-turn raises tough questions about regulatory preparedness and airline accountability in the world’s fastest-growing aviation market.
