DGCA appeal to pilots and airlines
The growing turmoil has meanwhile prompted India's aviation regulator to step in. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation issued a formal appeal to pilot unions, asking for cooperation as airlines navigate a period of tight schedules, unpredictable weather and heavy holiday traffic. The DGCA warned that fog season, peak travel weeks and rising passenger loads will put additional strain on carriers. "As we now approach the fog season, the peak holiday period, and the marriage travel season, it is crucial that the industry prepares for even greater operational challenges. Passenger volumes are expected to rise sharply, and weather-related impacts may further complicate scheduling and flight safety," the appeal read.
The regulator urged pilots to help stabilise operations by reducing avoidable delays, improving coordination with airlines and keeping safety at the centre of all decisions. "This appeal is made with deep respect for the essential role that pilots and pilot organisations play in India's aviation ecosystem. We trust in your sense of duty, professionalism, and commitment to public service during these challenging times," it said. ALPA India, the pilots’ association, responded by saying it "stands ready to fully support DGCA and MoCA in resolving the current situation and helping passengers in every possible way".
