In Hyderabad, Telangana, IndiGo has been fined Rs 1.20 Crore by aviation regulators following a viral video that showed passengers eating on the tarmac, an incident Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia called 'unacceptable' and 'shameful'. The total penalties amount to Rs 2.70 Crore and also involve Air India, SpiceJet, and the Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL). Scindia cited recent zero visibility conditions as a challenge for landings. IndiGo CEO Pieter Elbers mentioned the severe impact of the worst fog in years on northern India's operations. Elbers also addressed a separate viral video of a passenger assaulting an IndiGo pilot, emphasizing its unacceptability and confirming the issue is with the authorities.
