NEW DELHI: India’s stricter pilot fatigue management rules hit IndiGo hard last week as it had failed to plan for changes in its rosters, throwing operations of the country’s biggest airline into disarray and disrupting air travel across the country.
The new regulations, first proposed in early 2024, were implemented in two phases this year, with the latest implementation date of Nov 1.
