IndiGo crisis: DGCA sacks 4 flight operations inspectors for oversight; airline asked to hire more pilots
The DGCA has dismissed four inspectors overseeing IndiGo after the airline failed to hire enough pilots for upcoming flight duty time limits, leading to disruptions and a temporary rollback of rules. Despite DGCA warnings, IndiGo denies shortages. Sources cite deep mistrust between pilots and management, worsened by pay changes, policies, and attempts to restrict pilots from taking jobs abroad.
