00:00Indigo's daily flights, which had fallen drastically to 7.06 on 5th December,

00:06have recovered to over 1,800 flights yesterday and are expected to rise further today.

00:12All other airlines continue to operate smoothly across the country

00:16and the airports are reporting normal conditions without crowding or distress.

00:21Refunds, baggage tracing and passenger support measures remain under continuous supervision by the Ministry.

00:28At the same time, accountability will be ensured.

00:32DGCA has issued show cause notices to Indigo's senior leadership

00:36and commenced a detailed enforcement investigation.

00:40Depending on the outcome, strict and appropriate action,

00:45as empowered under the Aircraft Rules and Act, will be taken.

00:49No airline, however large, will be permitted to cause such hardship to passengers

00:55through planning failures, non-compliance or non-adherence to statutory provisions.

01:02Honorable Speaker, Sir, safety in civil aviation is completely non-negotiable.

01:08India is a founding member of the International Civil Aviation Organization

01:13and remains firmly committed to the highest global standards of safety.

01:18Revised flight duty time limitations scientifically designed to prevent pilot fatigue are being implemented.

01:26These reforms are essentially for passenger safety.

01:30DGCA adopted a phased-wise implementation plan in consultation with all the stakeholders.

01:37Phase 1 from 1st July 2025,

01:40Phase 2 from 1st November 2025.

01:44Indigo had clearly assured full compliance with these norms

01:47and also confirmed its preparedness to undertake its winter schedule.

01:52Despite these assurances, prima facie, it was observed

01:56that internal rostering disruptions led to large-scale cancellations,

02:01causing inconvenience to thousands of passengers.

02:03The Ministry advised the regulator to act immediately.

02:08Inquiry orders and show cause notice to CEO and COO of Indigo were issued.

02:14Also, Indigo has been directed to restructure its operations,

02:20add reserve crew capacity, improve passenger handling

02:23and restore normal schedules without any delay.

02:27Enhanced oversight on the ground continues.

02:33Passengers' interests have been at the centre of every decision taken by the government.

02:40We intervened to cap fares so that no passenger would be exploited

02:45due to the sudden demand spikes and opportunistic pricing.

02:50Indigo was ordered to issue refunds promptly

02:53and as informed by them,

02:55more than 750 crore has already reached the passengers.

02:58For the passengers who wanted the rebookings to be done,

03:02the same were done without any additional charges.

03:05We are monitoring each and every case of baggage handling over

03:09and ensuring that communication with passengers is both timely and dignified.

03:15As informed by Indigo, process of refunds, baggage handling are over in its final stages.

03:21Our 24-7 control room continues to assist passengers directly whenever needed.

03:28Honourable Speaker, Sir,

03:29Going forward, the government is determined

03:32to build a more robust and competitive aviation ecosystem.

03:37Through our policies, we are encouraging more new airlines to start and operate in India,

03:42ensuring fair access to airport capacity

03:45and eliminating any possibility of duopoly,

03:49controlling connectivity and pricing in our skies.

03:52More airlines mean more choice,

03:54more affordability and more resilience for the passengers.

03:57In the last one decade,

03:59Indian aviation has evolved to become more inclusive.

04:03India has emerged as the world's fastest growing aviation market

04:06with year-on-year passenger growth of around 12%.

04:10India is already third biggest domestic aviation market

04:15with a huge potential for future growth.

04:18And the policies of the government will ensure that this growth trajectory is kept intact.

04:25To summarise, operations are stabilising fast.

04:30Safety remains fully in force.

04:33Indigo is being held accountable.

04:36Passengers' convenience and dignity are being protected.

04:39And long-term measures are underway

04:41to make India's aviation sector stronger and more passenger-centric.

04:46The government will remain fully vigilant

04:49until normalcy is achieved

04:51and will continue to ensure

04:53that every passenger in India travels safely,

04:57comfortably and with the respect they deserve.

05:00Thank you, Honourable Speaker.
