New Delhi, Dec 5: Civil Aviation Minister K Rammohan Naidu on Friday said the government expects full normalisation of flight operations within three days, after days of widespread disruptions at IndiGo that led to hundreds of cancellations and delays.
Naidu said the civil aviation ministry has taken “urgent and proactive measures” to address the ongoing disruption, including placing the DGCA’s Flight Duty Time Limitations (FDTL) orders in abeyance with immediate effect.
“Without compromising on air safety, this decision has been taken solely in the interest of passengers, especially senior citizens, students, patients, and others who rely on timely air travel for essential needs,” he said in a statement.
He noted that the directives are expected to yield quick results. “Based on the immediate implementation of these measures, we expect flight schedules to begin stabilising by Saturday. Complete restoration of services should be achieved within the next three days,” he said.
The government has also ordered a high-level inquiry to determine the reasons behind the disruptions and fix accountability.
