According to reports, at least 7 IndiGo pilots were apparently caught on a frequency intended for emergency calls using harsh language about compensation difficulties. The pilots were purportedly caught on April 9 using inappropriate language on the 121.5 MHz frequency, which is solely used for emergency preparedness for planes in difficulty.
In this case, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has opened an investigation. According to the sources, IndiGo has yet to release a remark on the matter. IndiGo has dismissed several pilots who were organizing a strike on April 5 to protest wage cutbacks imposed during the COVID-19 epidemic only days before the event.
