The Competition Commission of India has taken cognizance of complaints against IndiGo following widespread flight delays and cancellations across several routes. The watchdog found competition law concerns at the preliminary stage and decided to proceed further under the Competition Act, 2002.
A PIL has been filed in Delhi High Court seeking four times the ticket price as compensation for passengers affected by IndiGo flight cancellations after new FDTL rules. The petition also calls for an inquiry into DGCA’s role in the nationwide aviation disruption.
Today, On 15th December, The Supreme Court declined to entertain a plea over IndiGo flight delays and cancellations, observing that parallel proceedings should be avoided. The Bench advised petitioners to approach the High Court first, leaving liberty to return later if aggrieved.
