Indian low-cost carrier IndiGo says its fleet expansion plans will remain unaffected by the aviation regulator’s recent concerns about the operational and financial viability of local airlines. The airline is on track to take delivery of 12 Airbus aircraft this year, Aditya Ghosh, president of IndiGo, says.
Indian carrier IndiGo’s fleet expansion plans may come under review by the country’s aviation regulator, which has found that the airline has a shortage of flight instructors and a training backlog. “The fast-growing induction plan of fleet in the organization also needs to be reviewed in view of the serious findings recorded in the audit report,” the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) said.
