New Delhi (HRNW)– The serious pilot shortage crisis in India has intensified instead of abating, and hundreds of flights across the country had to be canceled today due to the administrative negligence of IndiGo airline.
According to Indian media, IndiGo’s flight operations were badly affected for the fifth consecutive day. Severe disorganization in determining the working hours of pilots and lack of proper planning have worsened the situation, resulting in hundreds of passengers being stranded within the country.
According to reports, IndiGo airline operates about 2300 flights daily with 400 aircraft, however, due to pilot shortage and scheduling issues, a large number of flights have been temporarily suspended.
Foreign news agencies have reported that in order to make air travel safer, Indian civil aviation authorities have also imposed new restrictions on the working hours of pilots, which are being applied to the operations of airlines immediately.
Aviation experts say that if IndiGo management does not make immediate reforms, this crisis could be prolonged, putting further pressure on India’s aviation system.
