Two pilots of IndiGo airlines had their flying licenses suspended for three months by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Saturday for a runway incursion four months ago at the Chennai Airport. The pilots were issued show-cause notices, too, stating that they "endangered the safety of aircraft and passengers on board." A DGCA circular states, "...flight crews should use a continuous loop process for actively monitoring and updating their progress and location during taxi." "This includes knowing the aircraft's present location and mentally calculating the next location on the route that will require increased attention. The above action of the crew jeopardised the safety of the aircraft and passengers," ANI quoted the DGCA probe report.
