Q1. What was the full form of the FDTL norms whose implementation triggered IndiGo's flight cancellation crisis in December 2025?
A Flight Duration and Time Limits
B Federal Duty Travel Laws
C Flight Duty Time Limitations Correct
D Fuel and Distance Transport Limit
Explanation
FDTL stands for Flight Duty Time Limitations — DGCA pilot rest norms that IndiGo failed to comply with, triggering cancellation of nearly 4,500 flights from December 2. DGCA first ordered a 5% schedule cut, then doubled it to 10%. IndiGo was eventually fined Rs 22.2 crore and the DGCA imposed fare caps and ordered full refunds.
