Indian pilots have to rest more – level 1

Indian pilots have to rest more

10-12-2025 07:00

Many airports in India have problems. The company called Indigo cancels many flights. Passengers wait for a long time and pay a lot of money. All this happens because of new rules. These rules give pilots more rest. The rules make flying safe.

Indigo does not have enough pilots and workers. The company cannot follow the new rules. Flights are late or stop. Authorities give Indigo a short break from some rules.

Indigo flies most of the flights in India. Experts say that there should be smaller airlines, too. This stops one airline from making big problems. People can travel more safely.

Difficult words: cancel (to stop something), passenger (a person who travels on a plane, bus, or train), rest (time to stop work or activity to feel better).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

What do experts say should be done to prevent one airline from causing big problems?
