DGCA Panel Concludes Probe Into IndiGo Disruption, Submits Report To Aviation Ministry

New Delhi: The panel investigating the large-scale flight cancellations at IndiGo submitted its report to the aviation regulator DGCA on Friday evening, December 26. This committee was formed on December 5. However, the details of the report have not been made public.

Meanwhile, according to a report in Hindustan Times, a separate systematic review by the DGCA stated that IndiGo had employed 4,575 pilots to operate its fleet of 307 Airbus aircraft in November.

This was 891 more than the 3,684 pilots required under global best practices. This suggests that the flight cancellations were due to scheduling (roster) irregularities, not a shortage of crew.
