DGCA reverses leave-for-rest rule Dec. 5, 2025, to fix IndiGo flight chaos amid crew shortages and safety concerns.
The DGCA has temporarily reversed a rule banning airlines from substituting paid leave for mandatory weekly rest, effective December 5, 2025, to address severe flight disruptions at IndiGo.
The move follows over 500 flight cancellations on December 5 and ongoing operational chaos linked to challenges in implementing revised flight duty time limits.
The change, approved by the Competent Authority, allows greater scheduling flexibility to stabilize operations amid crew shortages.
While the DGCA cited airline requests and ongoing disruptions as justification, the decision has drawn criticism from pilot groups who argue it undermines fatigue management and safety standards.
The reversal is seen as a short-term fix amid broader systemic issues in crew planning and regulatory implementation.
