On IndiGo flight cancellations, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor says," This is most unfortunate. As far as I understand, the DGCA had given plenty of warning to the airlines about the new system of working hours and rosters, etc. This meant the airlines had to hire more pilots, but clearly they failed to do so, inflicting chaos on the travelling public. The airline needs to do some serious introspection...They have let down the public."
00:00Flights being cancelled is most unfortunate because as far as I understand it, the DGCA had given plenty of warning to the airlines about the new system of rosters, working hours, no repetition of nights, various sort of rules that have come into war, which meant that they would have had to hire more pilots.
00:17Clearly, one airline has failed to do so in the course of the last couple of years that they had, and now we are inflicting chaos on the travelling public. I think this is most unfortunate, and I think, honestly, the airline has to do some very serious introspection. They were the largest in terms of traffic share in our country, in terms of number of aircraft in the country, number of routes in the country. How have they let down the public? I believe they have.
