Rajamahendravaram: YSRCP leader and former MP Margani Bharat on Monday said Union Civil Aviation Minister Kinjarapu Ram Mohan Naidu’s incompetence alone is responsible for the ongoing aviation crisis.
He told the media here that without any proper departmental review, the Centre abruptly implemented new Flight Duty Time Limitation (FDTL) rules, increasing pilots’ rest time from 36 to 48 hours, which led to a severe pilot shortage in IndiGo, cancellation of hundreds of flights, and grave inconvenience to passengers across the country.
He said passenger safety was thrown to the wind and other airlines took advantage of the situation to sharply increase fares, exposing a complete failure of the Civil Aviation Ministry.
Bharat also criticised TDP spokespersons on national television for shamelessly supporting IT Minister Nara Lokesh.
