Indigo Crisis News | Centre’s Biggest Crackdown on IndiGo: CEO Summoned, Major Penalties Likely

In an unprecedented move, the government has launched its toughest crackdown yet on IndiGo, India’s largest airline. The Civil Aviation Ministry summoned IndiGo CEO Pieter Elbers for a late-evening questioning, with hefty financial penalties and possible operational restrictions now being considered. Sources say the ministry is even pushing for Elbers’ removal, though the government has no direct legal authority to sack the CEO of a publicly listed private company. As IndiGo faces deepening turbulence nationwide, the pressure on the airline’s top leadership continues to intensify.
