Days after Indigo canceled hundreds of flights, leaving thousands of passengers stranded across Indian airports, India’s civil aviation authority has dismissed four inspectors.
On Friday, December 12, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation announced it had relieved four Flight Operations Inspectors “with immediate effect.”
A Flight Operations Inspector ensures that airlines and operators meet safety standards by examining flight procedures, crew qualifications, aircraft, and safety systems. They help prevent accidents, issue licenses, and verify compliance with national and international regulations.
India’s aviation regulator has deployed some of its personnel at Indigo’s corporate headquarters to monitor the carrier’s network and recovery.
