Updates to say booking systems restored
NEW DELHI, Aug 21 (Reuters) - The reservation system of India's largest airline IndiGo INGL.NS was restored on Friday, hours after it faced intermittent issues that prevented people from making ticket bookings for a second time this week.
The repeated glitches are an early headache for CEO Willie Walsh, who took charge on August 3, less than five months after his predecessor Pieter Elbers resigned following scrutiny over a major operational breakdown at the airline.
Earlier on Friday, IndiGo's website displayed an advisory identical to one it issued on Wednesday, citing "intermittent issues" with its core reservation platform. It was not immediately clear whether the problems were linked to Wednesday's disruption or whether the earlier issue had been fully resolved.
IndiGo did not respond to an email seeking more details.
Reuters journalists in four cities were unable to book tickets through the website, which displayed a "no data available" message when they searched for flights, while some were also unable to log in to the app.
Multiple users complained on IndiGo's X handle on Friday about failed bookings, problems completing web check-ins and payment confirmations.
IndiGo came under scrutiny last December after pilot rostering problems forced it to cancel around 4,500 flights, leaving tens of thousands of passengers stranded and disrupting travel across the country.
The airline held a 67% share of India's domestic aviation market in July.

Tribunal defers judgement until Wednesday
Eight aircraft lessor petitions had been due for rulings
SpiceJet's market share was 1.9% in June
By Abhijith Ganapavaram and Arpan Chaturvedi
NEW DELHI, Aug 17 (Reuters) - An Indian bankruptcy court rebuked SpiceJet SPJT.BO on Monday over a last-minute settlement with one of eight aircraft lessors whose bankruptcy petitions were due for rulings, saying it wasted judicial time in the latest sign of financial stress at the country's fourth-largest carrier.
The court pressed SpiceJet on whether more deals were coming.
"It makes a mockery of the entire thing," one of the National Company Law Tribunal judges said, criticising the parties for waiting until the day of the ruling to disclose the settlement. "It's not right."
The hearing took place as years of legal disputes between SpiceJet and the firms that lease it aircraft appeared set to culminate in rulings on eight bankruptcy petitions.
The cases have put SpiceJet's finances under renewed scrutiny, with admission of even one bankruptcy petition potentially triggering a court-supervised resolution process under which an independent professional would take control of the airline while creditors considered a restructuring.
The tribunal judges said substantial time had already been spent hearing arguments and preparing a judgement, but agreed to defer the judgement until Wednesday after the parties asked for time to put the settlement agreement before it.
STRUGGLING AIRLINE UNDER INTENSE PRESSURE
The court also grappled with whether that development affected seven other SpiceJet insolvency cases that were also due for judgement but in which there had been no settlement. Lawyers for some of the other lessors repeatedly urged the court to pronounce its rulings.
"They are taking chances, and they are playing fast and loose," said Kevic Setalvad, who appeared for lessor Alterna Aircraft.
SpiceJet did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
SpiceJet, once India's second-largest domestic airline, has slashed flights, grounded aircraft and delayed salaries to pilots as it grapples with a funding crunch after years of losses and legal disputes. Its domestic market share was 1.9% in June from about 15% in 2019.
The airline has received 1.5 billion rupees ($15.69 million) under a government-backed credit programme to stabilise operations, but pressure from aircraft lessors has continued.
Two entities owned by the leasing arm of China's ICBC sought to deregister four Boeing 737 MAX aircraft leased to SpiceJet in July, while at least two lessors had served payment default notices on the airline this year, Reuters has reported.

By Shritama Bose
MUMBAI, Aug 12 (Reuters Breakingviews) - India's $290 billion Tata conglomerate has extended its abysmal record on managing succession. Its leader of nine years, N. Chandrasekaran, resigned on Wednesday ahead of an annual meeting next week where shareholders of the unlisted holding company, Tata Sons, may have ousted him. The exit of the first real outsider to run the 158-year-old group removes a distraction but also raises difficult questions about its future.
A row between Chandra and the charitable trusts that control the salt-to-power conglomerate became public in February over a mandate by the Reserve Bank of India to list Tata Sons. Chandra didn't see eye to eye with Tata Trusts Chair Noel Tata who opposed a listing. That led to a stalemate over his reappointment which made his position untenable.
The recent discord overshadowed Chandra's success in turning around large parts of the group. He deleveraged bloated balance sheets after inheriting serious problems at Tata Steel TISC.NS and Tata Motors TATM.NS. Annualised total shareholder returns from most listed group firms have beaten India's benchmark Nifty 50 stock index .NSEI since he took charge in 2017, prior to news of his departure.
But AI pressures have led to lagging returns at Tata Consultancy Services TCS.NS, the group's industry-leading IT outsourcer where he was previously CEO and which contributes 87% of Tata Sons' $3.4 billion annual dividend income. That will squeeze funds available to plough into unlisted businesses like the group's smartphone making venture with Apple AAPL.O and money-losing Air India, a carrier foisted on Chandra by the late Ratan Tata, former Tata Sons chair and chair emeritus.
Infighting also has delayed decision-making on other leadership issues: it took four months to name a CEO for Air India after Campbell Wilson stepped down in April, while rival IndiGo-owner InterGlobe Aviation INGL.NS replaced its chief within weeks in March. And the spat also has jeopardised the Tatas' philanthropic spending, which relies on dividends paid up through the holding company.
Worst of all, Chandra's departure is uncomfortably reminiscent of the 2016 ouster of his predecessor Cyrus Mistry. Back then, Ratan Tata swooped in as interim chair for four months before handing over to Chandra. His passing in 2024 has left the family's influence over the group in flux and the trusts under greater scrutiny, a test they are not passing with flying colours.
The 5% drop in Tata Consultancy shares on news of Chandra's departure underscores the ripple effect it will have across the group where he also chairs many individual companies. And it signals how the consequences of this second leadership disaster could force a bigger rethink on how the Tata group, with its unusual ownership structure, is managed.

CONTEXT NEWS
N. Chandrasekaran on August 12 resigned as chair of Tata Sons, the Indian conglomerate's holding company, citing the absence of unanimous support from the board for his re-appointment.
In a personal statement, Chandrasekaran, known as Chandra, said one board member did not support his re-appointment at a February board meeting, noting six months have since passed without a resolution on the matter. Chandra added it is necessary to have a leader in place to run the group beyond February 2027, when his current term as chair ends.
Earlier in the day, The Economic Times, citing unnamed sources, reported Chandra had discussed the possibility of stepping down ahead of an annual general meeting scheduled for August 18 amid uncertainty over his reappointment as a director and tensions with Tata Trusts Chair Noel Tata.
Charitable trusts collectively own nearly two-thirds of Tata Sons. Two of them — Sir Ratan Tata Trust and Sir Dorabji Tata Trust — hold a 52% stake between them.

India criticises regulator over officials securing relatives' aviation jobs and delayed disclosures
Regulator faces staffing shortages, FAA safety audit and an April bribery case
Air India case spotlights ministry's concerns on influence
By Abhijith Ganapavaram
NEW DELHI, July 22 (Reuters) - India has reprimanded its aviation safety regulator for failing to guard against officials using their influence to help family members get jobs in the sector and for delays in disclosing such placements, government documents reviewed by Reuters show.
India's Ministry of Civil Aviation has repeatedly challenged its safety body, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), since mid-2025 over the handling of conflicts involving officials' relatives in airlines, including an instance that involved Air India, according to the documents.
The concerns come at a critical time for the DGCA as it oversees one of the world's fastest-growing aviation markets while battling staffing shortages after a year of heightened scrutiny following an Air India Dreamliner crash, safety lapses at the airline and disruption at the country's largest carrier, IndiGo INGL.NS.
The DGCA is also contending with a federal police investigation after one of its officers was accused of taking a bribe and is due within months to undergo a routine U.S. Federal Aviation Administration safety audit.
A January DGCA document reviewed by Reuters summarised the ministry's concerns over the regulator's handling of conflicts of interest.
"(The) DGCA has not been able to effectively prevent or manage the possible influence exercised by its officials in the recruitment or placement of their relatives, family members, or dependents," it said.
The documents did not indicate whether the ministry planned further action.
As of January 31 this year, 51 DGCA officials had disclosed 59 relatives working in the sector, up from 33 officials disclosing 41 relatives a year earlier, one of the documents showed.
The relatives worked at companies including IndiGo, Air India, Akasa Air, Airbus AIR.PA India and some flying schools and airport operators.
The ministry, the DGCA and the companies employing the relatives did not respond to requests for comment.
DISCLOSURES AND APPROVAL
Indian rules prohibit federal employees from using their position or influence to secure jobs for family members and require disclosures and approvals. Conflict-of-interest concerns have surfaced before across India's public sector, including at the DGCA, where four officers were censured in 2013.
The civil aviation ministry remains concerned there is "potential for regulatory influence" as DGCA officers could withhold disclosure of relatives' employment at airlines they oversee and soften regulatory scrutiny, said a senior official with direct knowledge of the matter.
The official, who declined to be named due to the sensitivity of the matter, cited one example where a DGCA official was found to have around 12 relatives employed in the sector, but the ministry only learned about it after the officer's retirement.
Then-DGCA chief Faiz Ahmed Kidwai last year sought more powers on several administrative matters, including authority to handle potential conflict-of-interest cases internally. He argued in a July 2025 letter that the ministry approval process led to "administrative delays" and that decision-making should be streamlined.
The ministry rejected the request, saying the DGCA's "continued expression of inability to fix responsibility for delays or lack of approval has been alarming," the January document said.
Kidwai, now posted to India's Department of Personnel & Training, did not respond to a request for comment.
OFFICIAL'S SISTER HIRED AT AIR INDIA
A DGCA assistant director of engineering was questioned last year about his apparent conflict of interest after his sister took up employment in Air India's quality department while he was involved in granting regulatory approvals affecting the airline, the documents show.
The DGCA argued to the ministry that his sister was an independent widow and that the specific rule requiring prior approval covered only dependents like sons and daughters, though it said he would no longer handle Air India matters as a precaution.
"Sister comes under the purview of family," the aviation ministry said in an August 2025 document, rejecting the DGCA's proposal to approve the case.
"Influence/involvement of officer can't be ruled out ... There remains ambiguity about the transparency and legitimacy of the appointment process."
U.S. ethics rules generally require officials to recuse themselves from matters where family relationships could reasonably call their impartiality into question, while Europe's aviation regulator requires declarations of interest and may restrict staff duties to manage conflicts.
Harsh Vardhan Pratap Singh, president of the Association of Flying Training Organisations, said the DGCA should publish a list of officers whose relatives work in the sector it regulates.
"The fundamental methods to ensure the ultimate goal of safety are transparency in declarations by officers," he said.

IndiGo signed a memorandum of understanding with CFM International for an order of 1,000 or more LEAP-1A engines, the airline announced at the Farnborough Airshow on Monday. The engines will power 510 Airbus A320neo Family aircraft, representing the largest single order ever placed for LEAP engines and a record for CFM International. The MoU also covers CFM's support in establishing an engine MRO facility for IndiGo’s expanding fleet, as well as a long-term material services agreement for spares. IndiGo’s CEO-designate Willie Walsh described the deal as a natural extension of the airline’s decade-long relationship with CFM, noting it will underpin the carrier’s next phase of growth. The airline currently operates more than 375 A320/321 Family aircraft and has a fleet of over 430 planes.

The engines will power 510 Airbus A320neo Family aircraft, representing the largest single order ever placed for LEAP engines and a record for CFM International. The MoU also covers CFM's support in establishing an engine MRO facility for IndiGo’s expanding fleet, as well as a long-term material services agreement for spares. IndiGo’s CEO-designate Willie Walsh described the deal as a natural extension of the airline’s decade-long relationship with CFM, noting it will underpin the carrier’s next phase of growth. The airline currently operates more than 375 A320/321 Family aircraft and has a fleet of over 430 planes.

July 20 (Reuters) - Honeywell Aerospace HONA.O said on Monday that Indian airline IndiGo INGL.NS had selected its avionics and power systems for 810 Airbus A320neo-family aircraft, while Aeromexico AERO.MX plans to deploy runway safety technology from the aerospace company across more than 100 Boeing BA.N jets.
In separate statements, Honeywell said the IndiGo deal includes auxiliary power units, weather radar, traffic collision avoidance systems, flight management systems and aftermarket support.
Honeywell Aerospace has supplied equipment for IndiGo's fleet since 2015. The airline currently operates more than 400 aircraft.
While Aeromexico intends to adopt Honeywell's Surface Alerts (SURF-A) runway safety technology across its Boeing 737 NG and 737 MAX fleet.
SURF-A provides pilots with real-time aural and visual alerts when an aircraft is on a trajectory to collide with another aircraft on a runway, using GPS data, Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) equipment and software analytics to identify traffic hazards.
The company expects certification of SURF-A on several Boeing aircraft by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026 and continue into 2027.
Honeywell Aerospace did not disclose the financial terms of either agreement.

Repair delays have led to industry-wide aircraft groundings
GE-Safran venture says it is investing in tackling bottlenecks
IndiGo expected to seal CFM order and maintenance deal
No breakthrough in THY engine talks linked to Boeing jet order
Recasts with maintenance investment, adds airline talks
By Tim Hepher
FARNBOROUGH, England, July 18 (Reuters) - Jet engine maker CFM said on Saturday it was investing $2 billion over five years to help meet targets of faster maintenance times, part of efforts to ease engine-industry bottlenecks that have drawn fire from airlines.
The world's largest engine maker by number of units sold said the effort by co-owners GE Aerospace GE.N and France's Safran SAF.PA would also accelerate repairs, help suppliers improve deliveries and beef up spares inventory.
Unexpected wear and tear in the most recent jet engines - an unplanned by-product of their significant fuel savings - has led to an industry-wide repair crisis and left jets grounded.
CFM President Gael Meheust declined to be drawn on an engine industry dispute with airlines over prices, saying it was important to consider all relevant costs and engine performance.
CFM, which makes engines for the Boeing 737 MAX and competes with Pratt & Whitney on the Airbus A320neo, said it had a "near-zero" level of engine-driven groundings. Pratt has reported steady improvement in maintenance delays and production issues.
AIRLINE REPAIR SHOPS
CFM's aftermarket investment comes as engine makers are expected to battle for new business at next week's Farnborough Airshow, vying for attention with relatively muted plane orders.
India's largest carrier IndiGo could pick CFM's LEAP to power 500 previously ordered Airbus jets, industry sources said.
The deal is likely to include its own maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) shop, echoing Ireland's Ryanair RYA.I.
CFM declined to comment and IndiGo could not be reached.
However, there were no immediate signs of a breakthrough in talks between CFM and Turkish Airlines THYAO.IS (THY) that overshadow a deal for 150 Boeing 737 MAX jets announced by Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan in Washington in September.
The airline said then that the MAX order, part of a wider package of 225 jets, would be subject to engine negotiations.
Industry sources said the airline wanted under any deal to penetrate the top rung in CFM's tiered support network by becoming a so-called Premier MRO, joining a small group of carriers that enjoy enhanced access to repair technology.
CFM declined to comment. Turkish Airlines did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
CFM also said it had won approval for an upgrade that would improve durability of LEAP-1B engines for the MAX in harsh climates, echoing a fix already available for Airbus.
It reiterated a goal of 15% higher deliveries this year.

Fixes typographical error in paragraph 1
July 1 (Reuters) - Indian airline IndiGo INGL.NS said on Wednesday it has introduced lower fares for passengers travelling with only cabin baggage, as carriers seek to unbundle services to lower ticket prices.
Last month, rival Air India also introduced a basic economy fare without complimentary meals for "price-conscious travellers".
Here are some details:
Indian airlines have been grappling with higher costs after the Iran war drove up jet fuel prices, their biggest expense, while also contending with airspace closures and intensifying competition
IndiGo's entry-level fare, called 'IndiGo Lite', is a cabin bag-only fare for the airline's economy class customers
The fare will be applicable across IndiGo's domestic and international flights
The new fare will be available for booking exclusively on IndiGo's direct channels starting July 1 and will be eligible for travel effective July 15
IndiGo's Lite fare will provide passengers with a lower base price with an auto-assigned seat at no additional cost, and a cabin bag allowance of up to 7 kilograms

NEW DELHI, June 9 (Reuters) - India has launched a previously announced jet fuel price-stabilisation scheme for local airlines, with aviation turbine fuel to be sold to carriers at a fixed price of 115 rupees ($1.21) per litre, 10% higher than previous prices, three industry sources said. Here are some details about the scheme:
If airlines join the scheme they will have to pay the fixed price of 115 rupees/litre for up to three years, even if global prices decline, as the extra payment will be used to replenish the fund.
Airlines that do not opt in to the scheme will continue to pay market-linked prices, which may be higher or lower than the fixed price.
Indian airlines have so far not joined, two of the sources said.
Earlier this month, India approved the 100 billion rupee fund for the scheme, amid rising costs linked to the Iran war.
The support will be provided in the form of interest-free advances to oil marketing companies to cover under-recoveries - the gap between market-linked jet fuel prices and the moderated rates charged to airlines.
Jet fuel prices account for up to 40% of airlines' operating costs.

Adds details from government statement from paragraph 2, Indigo shares in 4
NEW DELHI, June 3 (Reuters) - India approved a 100 billion rupee ($1.05 billion) fuel stabilisation fund on Wednesday to help keep jet fuel prices in check for airlines hit by rising costs from the Iran war.
The government said the support would be provided as interest-free advances to oil marketing companies to cover under-recoveries - the gap between market-linked jet fuel prices and the moderated rates charged to airlines.
"The measure will help protect and sustain domestic and international air connectivity, ensuring continuity of air services," it added.
Shares of India's largest airline, IndiGo INGL.NS, reversed course to trade up 1%.
Globally, airlines have been squeezed by rising jet fuel prices, which can account for up to 40% of operating costs.

The government said the support would be provided as interest-free advances to oil marketing companies to cover under-recoveries - the gap between market-linked jet fuel prices and the moderated rates charged to airlines.
"The measure will help protect and sustain domestic and international air connectivity, ensuring continuity of air services," it added.
Shares of India's largest airline, IndiGo INGL.NS, reversed course to trade up 1%.
Globally, airlines have been squeezed by rising jet fuel prices, which can account for up to 40% of operating costs.
