IndiGo under antitrust spotlight after massive flight cancelations
IndiGo, India's biggest airline, is facing a possible antitrust investigation after canceling over 5,000 flights in just a month.
The cancelations were mainly due to crew shortages tied to new pilot rest rules.
Now, the Competition Commission of India (CCI) is checking if IndiGo used its dominant position unfairly and made things tougher for travelers.
Regulators demand answers as scrutiny grows
The aviation regulator DGCA has asked IndiGo's top bosses—including CEO Pieter Elbers—to explain what went wrong.
IndiGo says it needs more time to give details because of how complex its operations are.
While this isn't the first time IndiGo has faced such questions (they were cleared in 2015 and 2016), all eyes are on how they handle this latest turbulence—especially since they still run the largest fleet in the country.
