Indigo Safety Lapses

Four senior executives of IndiGo airline were issued show cause notices on Friday by the civil aviation watchdog DGCA after a special audit team of the aviation regulator found safety lapses, according to sources privy to the development.

In a major safety lapse, the Air Traffic Controller inadvertently gave instructions to one aircraft to continue taxiing, mixing the taxiway location with that of another plane that led to a near collision at Delhi airport on Tuesday, the Airport Authority of India has said.
