"Safety Our Number 1,2,3 Priority": IndiGo Chief On Tail Strikes Row

IndiGo chief Pieter Elbers said they have been transparent about it and will take whatever measures are required after the investigations are completed.

IndiGo, under scrutiny by the country's civil aviation regulator over recent safety concerns, said today that it had a very strong safety record before the tail strikes that brought it to the notice of DGCA. In an exclusive interview, company chief Pieter Elbers said they have been transparent about it and will take whatever measures are required after the investigations are completed.

"Safety is our key priority number one, number two, and number three," said Mr Elbers, calling safety updations a "continuous process".

Earlier today, IndiGo reported its highest-ever quarterly profit of Rs 3,090.6 crore in the June quarter. The nation's largest airline, which had 316 planes in its fleet at June-end, had registered a loss of Rs 1,064.3 crore in the June quarter last year.
