Urban Aviation Minister K. Ram Mohan Naidu announced that the government has launched an investigation into Indigo’s large-scale flight cancellations and will take strict action to set an example for other airlines. In response to a question by Congress leader Pramod Tiwari in the Rajya Sabha, he clarified for Breaking News in India Today readers that the Indigo crisis does not involve any flaw in the automatic message switching system. Members in the Lok Sabha also raised the issue during the session.
The Union Minister said that the government issued the new Flight Duty Time Limit (FDTL) guidelines after consulting all stakeholders. During discussions about the Indigo crisis, the company did not raise this issue. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court refused to hear a petition seeking judicial intervention while Indigo canceled hundreds of flights, noting that the government had already addressed the situation. A bench led by Chief Justice Suryakant emphasized that this is a serious matter affecting millions of travelers, but the government acted promptly to resolve it.
This development highlights a major update in Breaking News in India Today due to its impact on millions of travelers and the aviation sector.
