IndiGo and Mumbai Airport Fined Over Tarmac Incident; Air India and SpiceJet Penalized for Fog Delays

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation imposes hefty fines following a series of violations and non-compliance of rules by airlines and airport.

IndiGo, a low-cost carrier, has been fined Rs 1.2 crore by the Bureau Of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) after a viral video showed passengers eating on the tarmac as they waited for their delayed flight to take off.
Mumbai Airport has been ordered to pay Rs 30 lakh for the violation.
Air India and SpiceJet have also been fined Rs 30 lakh each by the regulator for poor preparedness leading to fog delays.
The fines are a result of violation and non-compliance of Aircraft Rules, 1937.
The incident involving IndiGo occurred when a Goa to Delhi flight was diverted to Mumbai due to low-visibility conditions in Delhi.
