New Delhi: The major disruption in air travel across the country has prompted a Parliamentary panel to consider summoning top officials of private airlines and senior representatives of the aviation regulator.
Thousands of passengers were left stranded after IndiGo cancelled a large number of flights over the past six days.
The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Transport, Tourism and Culture, headed by JD-U MP Sanjay Jha, is expected to call senior executives from airlines along with officials from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and the Ministry of Civil Aviation.
The committee wants to understand what caused the cancellations and what steps are being taken to prevent such incidents in the future.
