DGCA Pilot Rules: Hain Non-Negotiable! Court mein Airlines ki lagi Class?
Overview

Aviation regulator DGCA ne Delhi High Court mein saaf bol diya hai ki pilots ke liye proper weekly rest rule non-negotiable hain. Kisi bhi airline ko ismein koi chhoot nahi mili hai, bas IndiGo ko night operations ke liye **February 10, 2026** tak temporary relief mili hai.

DGCA Ka Stand: Safety First, Hamesha!

DGCA, matlab hamari aviation regulator ne Delhi High Court mein ek public interest litigation (PIL) ki sunwai ke dauran apna strong stand rakha hai. Unhone clearly kaha ki pilots ke liye jo weekly rest ke niyam hain, woh non-negotiable hain. Yaani, ismein koi cutting ya badlav nahi hoga. DGCA ke counsel ne bataya ki ab tak kisi bhi domestic airline ko is rule mein koi temporary relaxation nahi di gayi hai.

Court Mein Kya Chal Raha Hai?

Ye mamla tab shuru hua jab ek PIL mein DGCA dwara Flight Duty Time Limitation (FTDL) rules ko kuch time ke liye rokne ko challenge kiya gaya. Court ne DGCA se sawaal kiya ki IndiGo ko night duty operations ke liye February 10, 2026 tak jo temporary relief mili hai, woh baaki airlines ko kyun nahi? Court ne kaha ki safety regulations tab tak enforce honi chahiye jab tak woh galat na prove ho jayein, kyunki yeh seedha passenger safety se jude hain. Ab IndiGo aur DGCA dono ko is PIL par apna jawab dena hoga.

IndiGo Ka Sankat Aur Naye Rules Ka Asar

Asal mein, December 2025 mein IndiGo ko hazaaron flights cancel karni padin thi. Iska reason tha ki airline naye FDTL rules ko adapt nahi kar pa rahi thi, jo 2025 mein phase-wise lagu kiye gaye the. India ke yeh naye rules, jismein pilots ka weekly rest 36 ghante se badha kar 48 ghante kar diya gaya hai aur night landings kam ki gayi hain, duniya mein sabse strict mein se hain. US mein yeh 30 ghante aur Europe mein 36 ghante hain. Is situation ke karan IndiGo ka Q3 FY26 ka profit 78% gir gaya aur ₹577 crore ka nuksaan hua. IndiGo, jo India mein lagbhag 62% market share rakhti hai, usko regulatory action bhi jhelna pada aur ten percent services cut karne ka order bhi mila. Haal hi mein yeh bhi khabar hai ki IndiGo ko ₹577 crore se zyada ke tax demand orders ka bhi saamna karna pad raha hai. Derivative markets mein bhi bearish sentiment dikh raha hai.

Aage Kya Hoga?

Delhi High Court ka is mamle mein involvement dikhata hai ki aviation sector mein regulatory oversight aur strict ho gaya hai. Jabki IndiGo ko night operations ke liye February 2026 tak thoda relief mila hai, DGCA ka firm stance hai ki pilot rest rules par koi samjhauta nahi hoga. Sabhi airlines ko ab enhanced safety regulations ke according apne operations ko manage karna hoga, taaki passengers ka trust bana rahe aur koi disruption na ho.
