Following repeated Indigo flight delays around the country, India’s aviation authority, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), took a serious interest in the airline’s operations
According to sources, the fundamental cause of the stumbling block was a lack of crew personnel.
“Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has taken strong cognizance of IndiGo operations and sought a clarification/explanation behind the massive flight delays nationwide,” DGCA officials told ANI.
Earlier, a Delhi-bound IndiGo flight from Guwahati returned to Guwahati airport due to a suspected bird hit after the takeoff on Sunday. All passengers were accommodated on another flight to Delhi and the aircraft was inspected.
“IndiGo Airbus A320neo (VT-ITB) operating flight 6E 6394 from Guwahati-Delhi returned to Guwahati airport, due to a suspected bird hit after takeoff. All passengers were accommodated on another flight to Delhi. The aircraft is being held on the ground for necessary inspections,” IndiGo said in a statement.
This was the third such incident of that day when a flight made an emergency landing. (ANI)
