IndiGo Managing Director Rahul Bhatia has written to employees after CEO Pieter Elbers resigned, assuring staff that he will lead the airline during the transition. In an internal mail, Bhatia said, “Main hoon na,” in a message seen as reassurance to employees. He also referred to the airline’s major disruption in December, when mass flight delays and cancellations affected thousands of passengers. “What happened last December should never have taken place,” Bhatia wrote. He thanked employees, especially frontline staff, for handling the crisis. “Our customers didn’t deserve it, nor did all of you,” he said. The aviation regulator had later fined IndiGo over ₹22 crore after an inquiry found problems in crew planning, software systems, and operational oversight. (PC: NDTV)
