After the confusion and problems caused by many IndiGo flight cancellations at different airports, the DGCA decided to cancel its new rule about weekly rest for pilots. This decision was made on Friday.

“In view of the ongoing operational disruptions and representations received from various airlines regarding the need to ensure continuity and stability of operations, the instruction contained in the referenced paragraph that no leave shall be substituted for weekly rest is hereby withdrawn with immediate effect,” DGCA said in a notification.
