The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) issues a warning to IndiGo following findings of multiple non-compliances in how the airline handles dangerous goods. The regulator conducts a special audit of IndiGo’s engineering storage facility as part of its assessment. DGCA also says the airline is required to review its dangerous goods compliance measures, including changes to staff training. In particular, NDTV reports that DGCA asks IndiGo to strengthen its training programme by adding more practical exercises and operational scenarios. Times of India notes that IndiGo admits to a cargo spillage incident in January, which is cited in the context of the regulator’s concerns. DGCA directs IndiGo to submit an action taken report within a month detailing corrective measures. Across the reports, the focus remains on compliance with dangerous goods handling norms, the outcome of the DGCA’s audit, and the training and operational steps IndiGo must take to address the issues identified.
