The Federation of Indian Pilots (FIP) on Wednesday cited six pilot deaths on duty between November 2023 and September 11, 2026, and urged the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to conduct an “urgent and comprehensive” review. It asked the aviation regulator to strengthen oversight of fatigue-management practices, including implementation of flight duty time limitation (FDTL) rules and fatigue risk management systems (FRMS).
