‘Cartel-like behaviour’: FIP issues letter flagging IndiGo’s ‘hiring freeze’

Indian pilots’ body accuses IndiGo of a hiring freeze and poor planning, leading to flight cancellations and delays. Despite a two-year window for new flight duty rules, the airline allegedly failed to adequately staff operations. The Federation of Indian Pilots urges the DGCA to reallocate IndiGo’s slots if commitments to passengers remain unmet due to avoidable shortages.
