Government becomes strict on Indigo issue, preparations to remove CEO

New Delhi. The country’s largest airline IndiGo has been under severe criticism for the last 3 days. Heavy cancellations, delays of hours and chaos at airports across the country have shaken the aviation system. Now the government is considering this entire crisis as very serious and the anger of the already angry passengers is increasing.

According to government sources, the central government is seriously considering recommending the removal of IndiGo CEO Peter Elbers. On top of that, there are preparations for a heavy penalty on the airline, which can be considered the biggest action taken so far in the industry.

Big decision on flight reduction also

According to sources, the government is going to make direct cuts in the operations of the airline. Flight allocations will be reduced on many routes of Indigo. The airline will be allowed to operate only those flights in which it can provide full crew. Meanwhile, there is also an allegation that Indigo was running an overloaded schedule for the last several months. The government believes that overstressed operations led to this major operational meltdown due to which thousands of passengers had to suffer.

Indigo officials were called again

The situation has become so bad that top officials of the airline have been summoned again to the Civil Aviation Ministry today. There will be another important meeting at 6 pm in which the ministry wants to know what steps have been taken so far by the airline to bring the situation under control. Officials have clearly indicated that if Indigo does not show immediate improvement, further action will be more stringent.

Detailed report will also be sent to PMO

Sources say that the Civil Aviation Ministry has prepared to separately brief the Prime Minister’s Office on this entire crisis. The indications are clear that the Central Government is not going to take the matter lightly this time. Passenger complaints are continuously increasing and there is strong pressure on DGCA to take immediate action. In such a situation, it is believed that more stringent measures may be taken against the airline soon.

government message

After three days of massive chaos, the government wants to send an open message to the airlines that inconvenience to passengers will not be tolerated under any circumstances. This is why action against CEO Peter Elbers, heavy fine and operational cuts are being considered in parallel. For Indigo, this situation has now become the biggest test of the company’s credibility.
