Who is the real villain of IndiGo Crisis…when and how will this crisis be resolved? Understand the whole story here

Indigo Crisis Explained: IndiGo’s crisis continues for the fifth consecutive day. On Saturday, the company canceled about 400 flights from many big airports. Thousands of passengers are still stuck in this chaos, but it is expected that this situation will end soon.

Flight Duty Time Limitation (FDTL) came into effect from November 1, causing IndiGo to face an acute shortage of pilots and crew members. Since the new rules mandated mandatory rest and leave for pilots, flights were initially delayed and then canceled.

Government withdrew FDTL rules

This had a very bad impact on aviation services. 500-1,000 flights were being canceled every day. This chaos put a lot of pressure on the government and finally the government has now withdrawn the new rules. Its implementation will be considered only after the situation becomes normal.

What will be the effect of withdrawal of rules?

Experts say that the decision to suspend the rules is wise. This will have a big impact and will buy the company some time. During this time, the company will be able to schedule new appointments and flights more easily. However, its real impact will be visible only in the next two days.

Did the Indians act deliberately?

Ever since IndiGo’s crisis started, it is being speculated, especially on social media, that IndiGo has deliberately created this chaos to get exemption from DGCA rules. But the truth behind this is still yet to be revealed.

There is no concrete evidence to prove the allegations against IndiGo, as the company has suffered huge losses due to this chaos. It has had to give refunds to passengers and make further arrangements for them, hence the allegations against IndiGo appear false and baseless. Indigo’s share price has also fallen significantly.

Who is the villain of Indigo Crisis?

FDTL seems to be the biggest reason behind the ongoing chaos in IndiGo. An official of Indira Gandhi International Airport said that FDTL is the main reason. Furthermore, software and hardware updates on A320 aircraft are still incomplete, leaving the airline facing a serious crisis.

At present the situation on December 6 seems to be under control to a great extent. It is expected that the situation will become normal by 10-15 December, as IndiGo CEO Peter Elbers has also said. IndiGo has initiated fresh recruitment efforts to improve the situation and has also placed some pilots on deputation from other airlines to improve the situation as soon as possible.
