The Directorate General of Civil Aviation has eased pilot flight duty rules for long-haul flights. This move aims to ensure enough pilots are available for smooth airline operations. The decision follows disruptions faced by IndiGo in December 2025. The aviation watchdog is also increasing its monitoring of airlines to ensure compliance with regulations.
