IndiGo, which faced massive flight disruptions in early December, on Tuesday said it has an optimum pool of staff to ensure stable operations as regulator DGCA's temporary pilot duty norm relaxations for the country's largest airline come to an end. IndiGo, which saw its domestic market share slump to 59.6 per cent in December from 63.6 per cent in November, operates around 2,200 flights daily. "As assured to the regulatory authorities earlier, we are maintaining an optimum pool of employees, including pilots, to ensure stable operations across our network," the spokesperson said in a statement. These clauses pertain to night duty time for pilots and flight landings in night time. The Federation of Indian Pilots (FIP) has emphasised the importance of implementing the revised FDTL without providing any exemptions to address pilot fatigue issues.
