Today, On 10th December, The Delhi High Court questioned the Centre over the IndiGo flight cancellations and the sudden spike in airfares, asking, “How were airlines allowed to overcharge?” The court said the situation “is harassment to passengers” and demanded accountability today.
A pilots’ union told the Delhi High Court that DGCA ignored fatigue-rule timelines weeks before Indigo’s mass cancellations.
The plea warned that non-compliance “directly endanger passenger safety,” foreshadowing the crisis.
Today, On 5th December, The DGCA has withdrawn its earlier rule that said “no leave shall be substituted for weekly rest”, giving airlines major relief in managing crew rosters. The revised order, issued on 5 December 2025, aims to ease operational disruptions.
