In this Special Report, India Today explores the massive disruption in Indian aviation caused by IndiGo’s widespread flight cancellations. Anchor Rajdeep Sardesai speaks with Captain Sam Thomas, President of ALPA-India, who alleges that the airline engineered a ‘deliberately created artificial crisis to force the DGCA to dilute the new FDTL rules’. The panel, including former Air India Executive Director Jitendra Bhargava and former DGCA M.R. Sivaraman, discusses whether the crisis was a result of ‘criminal negligence’ or a strategic pressure tactic by the market leader. Bhargava criticizes the airline for failing to warn passengers, calling the event an ‘ugly chapter in the history of Indian aviation’. Meanwhile, Sivaraman questions the role of IndiGo’s board and the regulator’s oversight, noting that parked aircraft could have been utilized. The discussion follows the government’s decision to put the new pilot fatigue norms in abeyance to restore normalcy.
