New Delhi: The Directorate General of Civil Aviation has dismissed four flight operation inspectors without gross negligence in operational monitoring of IndiGo airline came to light. These officers were responsible for monitoring the airline's security procedures and flight operations. Sources say that the inspection process was found weak at many levels, without which DGCA took strict action.
Did lack of trueness to safety standards deepen the crisis?
The airline was once accused of not implementing safety rules timely and strictly. The effect of this negligence was unmistakably visible in the last few weeks, when Indigo started canceling a large number of flights. Due to this, thousands of passengers suddenly got stuck and there was an undercurrent of unconnectedness at the airports in many cities. This situation forced the regulator to take firsthand action.
Why did DGCA deploy surveillance teams at IndiGo office?
Amid continuous delays and cancellations of flights, DGCA has scheduled two monitoring teams at IndiGo's main operations part-way in Gurugram. These teams are responsible for daily review of key activities related to hairdo utilization, refund processing and operational management. The regulator has clarified that these teams will submit detailed reports by 6 pm every evening, so that the root of the problem can be identified quickly.
What operational aspects is the first monitoring team examining?
The first team is assessing the very operating topics of the airline. This includes total squadron numbers, misogynist pilots, hairdo hours, and standby hairdo status. It is moreover stuff seen which sectors are stuff unauthentic the most by hairdo shortage and how many flights are unauthentic daily. The team is moreover gathering well-constructed data on the daily functioning of the airline by keeping an eye on stereotype flight time and network operations.
Does this investigation indicate major changes in IndiGo's operations?
Experts say such wide-stretching monitoring is usually undertaken only when persistent shortcomings in an airline's operations are seen. The dismissal of four inspectors indicates that the regulator will no longer compromise at any level. In the coming days, the DGCA report will determine what remoter touching-up steps IndiGo needs to take, so that flight operations can return to normal and passenger conviction comes back.
