flag IndiGo strengthened its crew levels ahead of Feb. 10, 2026, avoiding flight disruptions despite regulatory deadline.

flag IndiGo has bolstered its pilot workforce and crew buffers ahead of the February 10, 2026, expiration of temporary exemptions from India’s flight duty time rules, with officials reporting minimal flight disruptions. flag The airline increased its crew buffer to 3% and raised its pilot-to-aircraft ratio, now maintaining 7.2 crew sets per aircraft—up from fewer than six in December 2025 during a crisis that caused over 5,000 cancellations and a ₹22.2 crore penalty. flag Improved staffing, hiring of 100 new trainee first officers, and ongoing training are credited for the recovery. flag Recent disruptions in January were attributed to weather and airspace issues, not crew shortages. flag Regulators confirm IndiGo is on track to meet FDTL requirements, though long-term stability depends on maintaining adequate crew levels amid aircraft grounding and pilot attrition.
