The DGCA had earlier issued a show-cause notice to IndiGo's chief executive officer Pieter Elbers holding the airline accountable for large-scale operational disruptions and pointing to "significant lapses in planning, oversight and resource management," according to ANI.

The notice demands that the CEO provide an explanation for the disruptions following a week of widespread cancellations and delays that have left thousands of passengers stranded across India.
