IndiGo is increasing pilot allowances and introducing new benefits effective January 1, aiming to boost morale and retention following recent mass flight cancellations. These changes include hikes in layover, deadhead, and night allowances, with captains and first officers receiving increased pay. The move comes after the airline cancelled thousands of flights, leading to operational disruptions, regulatory scrutiny, and criticism from pilot unions. IndiGo is also accelerating recruitment to restore full operational capability.
