New Delhi: The matter is now rhadamanthine serious without the incidents of frequent flight cancellations of Indigo. According to sources, the government is considering reducing the company's timetable by 5 percent. This ways that virtually 110 daily flights can be given to other airlines, provided they have spare capacity. If the situation does not improve, then the possibility of flipside 5 percent cut in the coming days is moreover open.
Indigo's refinement letter: 5 reasons given
In response to the show-cause notice received from DGCA, IndiGo has described itself as stuff in a state of “deep regret” and has listed five reasons. These reasons include new FDTL (Flight Duty Time Limitation) rules, winter schedule changes, increased traffic in the system, bad weather, and minor technical issues. The airline says that it is difficult to symbol responsibility to any one reason in such a large network, and they need increasingly time for a detailed investigation.
Preparing for strict action?
DGCA is currently reviewing the company's response. On the other hand, the Civil Aviation Ministry has unmistakably indicated that whoopee will be taken at the “appropriate time.” Now it will be interesting to see whether IndiGo gets spare time or not, considering the dissatisfaction of passengers is continuously increasing.
Sources say that DGCA may reduce IndiGo's flight operations in proportion to its misogynist hairdo and requite the vacant slots to other airlines. Apart from financial penalty, DGCA can moreover take whoopee versus the top executives of the airline—the CEO and COO. The visitor is moreover expressing the possibility of changes in some responsible positions.
The incident of December 5 became the turning point
IndiGo said the mass receipt of flights on December 5 was a kind of “reboot” to unbend stranded passengers, reduce airport congestion, and reset hairdo and watercraft positioning. Increasingly than 1,000 flights were unauthentic that day, scrutinizingly half of the airline's unshortened operations.
DGCA investigation team can summon officers
The four-member team of DGCA investigating this unshortened matter, which is led by Joint DG Sanjay Brahmane, may soon undeniability IndiGo CEO Peter Albers and COO Isidre Porcaras. This team will find out why IndiGo lagged overdue in implementing the new FDTL rules and whether the company's rostering and manpower planning were adequate.
The increasing pressure on IndiGo and the strictness of the government unmistakably indicate that problems for India's largest airline may increase in the coming days.
