IndiGo becomes world’s 3rd largest airline in terms of market capitalisation
In June 2023, IndiGo inked a massive deal for 500 aircraft with Airbus during the Paris Air Show.
The Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) on Saturday directed the officials of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to look into the matter after an operating flight 6E-2131 (Delhi-Bangalore) experienced a technical issue while on the take-off roll.
Taking to a microblogging site, the Ministry of Civil Aviation added, “Concerned officials at @DGCAIndia have been directed to look into this and furnish a report at the earliest.”
