Since the outbreak of the West Asia conflict on February 28, Indian airlines have cancelled over 10,000 international flights due to airspace restrictions and heightened tensions in the region. Asangba Chuba Ao, Joint Secretary in the Ministry of Civil Aviation, reported that the number of daily flights to the Middle East has plummeted from 300-350 to 80-90. In response, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has temporarily relaxed flight duty time limitations for pilots, allowing longer flight durations to manage rerouted services. This measure is valid until April 30 and aims to prevent crew shortages and ensure operational reliability. Additionally, the Indian government has intervened to stabilize aviation turbine fuel (ATF) prices, which constitute about 40% of an airline's operating costs, despite international oil prices doubling since the conflict began. These actions are intended to support the aviation sector amid ongoing disruptions, ensuring passenger safety and maintaining critical cargo movements.
