India's biggest low-cost carrier, IndiGo, which had earlier reported only 340 technical snags to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) in 2017, recently revised the data to report 14,628 snags in its fleet during the year – an increase of over 4,200 per cent. While the number now reported by IndiGo is clearly the highest among Indian carriers, the airline might still not be the worst performer on this count.
Earlier, in March, Minister of State for Civil Aviation Jayant Sinha had said the total number of snags across airlines in 2017 stood at 24,791. The Economic Times quoted
