IndiGo Chaos Across India: New Crew Duty Rules Trigger Crisis?

A massive disruption has hit India's skies as IndiGo faces a full-blown operational meltdown, leaving thousands of passengers stranded across airports nationwide. With widespread cancellations triggering chaos, the DGCA has demanded an explanation from the airline. IndiGo has now submitted its report, and the regulator will brief the Aviation Minister ahead of a key meeting at 4 pm. A major factor behind the disruptions appears to be the rollout of updated crew rostering rules - the new Flight Duty Time Limitations that mandate more rest for pilots and crew.
