NEW DELHI: Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu on Friday held IndiGo’s mismanagement regarding its crew, with respect to the new flight duty time limitation (FDTL) regulations issued by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), as being responsible for the disruption of its operations, leading to severe delays and congestion at the major airports across the country.

He said the events that have unfolded in major airports led the Civil Aviation Ministry to grant IndiGo a certain abeyance from FDTL norms to ensure normalcy.

“From November 1, the DGCA came up with new FDTL (flight duty time limitation) regulations. The ministry also initiated a continuous engagement process with the airlines for at least six months. Previously, there was no issue regarding the new FDTL norm. Oth
