IndiGo Receives DGCA Warning Over Cargo Spillage and SOP Deviations
IndiGo's parent company, InterGlobe Aviation, received a warning letter from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) after an audit found deviations from standard operating procedures and certain provisions of the Aircraft (Carriage of Dangerous Goods) Rules, 2026. The warning followed a cargo spillage incident reported in January 2026. The DGCA has directed IndiGo to submit an action taken report, but no penalties or operational restrictions were imposed.
