Mass leave by the cabin crew an aberration, ready for growth: IndiGo

IndiGo is hiring for replacement and expansion. Around 1,500 in the cabin crew are under training and will join operations over the next few weeks

IndiGo’s management is of the opinion that Saturday’s flight delays caused by sick leaves taken by many in the cabin crew are just an aberration.

The airline’s on-time performance nosedived to 45 per cent on Saturday as a large part of the cabin crew reported sick to participate in Air India’s recruitment process. 

Privately, Air India executives denied holding interviews on Saturday and the airline did not issue any statement.

IndiGo’s on-time performance rose to 71.8 per cent on Sunday and 72.9 per cent on Monday. Though still below its rivals, the punctuality is expected to improve further on Tuesday,
