Elbers thanks staff, vows resilience & root-cause review
ADAY AFTER IndiGo's top executives appeared before a Parliamentary panel over the mass flight cancellations earlier this month, Chief Executive Officer Pieter Elbers sought to reassure employees that "the worst is behind us," saying the airline has largely restored operations with around 2,200 daily flights.
In a message to employees, Elbers said the carrier is now focused on three priorities: strengthening resilience, conducting a root-cause analysis of the breakdown, and rebuilding systems to prevent a recurrence.
He said, "Through the storm, we found our wings again." The statement comes on a day when a parliamentary panel sharply criticised the airline over widespread operational disruptions that pushed Indian aviation close to a standstill in early December.
