Passengers on tarmac: Aviation security regulator BCAS slaps Rs 1.20 cr fine on IndiGo, Rs 60 lakh penalty on Mumbai airport operator
Separately, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) fined Air India and SpiceJet Rs 30 lakh each for failing to comply with pilot rostering requirements when operating flights in low visibility situations. The action comes more than two weeks after severe aircraft disruptions were reported at Delhi International Airport owing to intense fog and limited visibility conditions.
In a viral video, passengers of a Delhi-bound IndiGo flight diverted to Mumbai (confirmed by airport sources) due to operational issues are seen eating and sitting on the airport tarmac at Mumbai Airport, in Mumbai on Monday. (ANI Photo)
