End to IndiGo chaos soon? DGCA okays one-time flight duty exemptions till Feb 2026; carrier asked to submit roadmap, fix crew gaps

The DGCA has given IndiGo a temporary exemption from flight duty rules. This aims to fix operational issues and reduce passenger problems. The exemption is for IndiGo’s A320 fleet and lasts until February 2026. IndiGo must report on crew use and provide a plan for full compliance. This move comes after widespread flight cancellations and disruptions.
