BENGALURU: Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar on Saturday claimed that IndiGo airline’s nationwide disruption is the “worst aviation” meltdown in India’s history, further attributing the “fiasco” to the Centre’s monopoly model.
In his post on X, Shivakumar said, “India is witnessing the worst aviation meltdown in its history. Thousands of flights cancelled – leaving our people stranded everywhere. The IndiGo fiasco is the direct result of the Govt’s monopoly model. And as always, it is ordinary Indians who are paying the price”.
