Pilots accuse top aviation authorities of corruption amid IndiGo chaos
During a meeting with a parliamentary panel, pilot associations accused India's top aviation bodies—the DGCA and Ministry of Civil Aviation—of "corruption at every level."
This comes as IndiGo faces major flight disruptions, with over 5,000 cancelations since early December.
The new crew rest rules and a sudden jump in IndiGo's winter schedule have left IndiGo scrambling for staff.
Why does it matter?
These allegations hit just as thousands of travelers are dealing with delays and cancelations.
For young flyers and anyone relying on air travel, this mess highlights how decisions at the top can quickly impact everyone's plans.
The government has set up a committee to investigate IndiGo's operational collapse, while regulators scramble to stabilize flights—so expect more updates soon.
