Indigo Airlines Crisis (Thread)

- Background story
- Accidental or Manufactured
- Any connection with Putin's Visit

Story starts from January 2024 when Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) introduced Flight Duty Time Limitations (FDTL) guidelines

1/17

These guidelines were introduced for the mental and physical fitness of airlines crew and safety for passengers

These guidelines include:
- 48 hours of weekly rest for crew (up from 36 hours)
- A longer night duty window (00:00–06:00)

- A sharp cut in night landings, only two per week per pilot
- A cap of 8 flying hours during night operations

Till last year these guidelines were not mandatory but after Ahmedabad crash, DGCA started to make them mandatory in two phase

These FDTL rules were implemented in two phase. few of them in first phase and rest of them in second phase

First phase from 1st July 2025
Second phase from 1st Nov 2025

So FDTL was fully implemented from 1st Nov 2025
Since FDTL increases rest time for crew

It reduced availability of Pilots for airlines

Same number of flights now requires more pilots
🔹 Productivity per pilot drops 20–35% depending on network type
🔹 Airlines are forced to add crew or cut schedules
🔹 This directly increases costs and reduces flight availability

I used ChatGPT to calculate and it told me now after FDTL, airlines needs 25-30% more staff to maintain same productivity

So they need to hire more pilots and crew which will increase their expenses and will reduce profitability

Indigo airlines

Market share : 65%
Profit after tax in FY25 was Rs 7,258 crore

IndiGo operates over 2,200 flights a day - nearly double Air India. As per Indigo it was planning mistake

A tiny lapse in planning becomes an enormous meltdown: Even a 10% disruption means

200–400 flights affected and thousands stranded.

IndiGo has attributed the chaos to a “multitude of unforeseen operational challenges,” including minor tech glitches, winter schedule changes, congestion, and weather.

But was that the reason?

In a significant development on Friday, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) issued an order withdrawing a strict provision in the new Flight Duty Time Limitations (FDTL) rules that stated “no leave shall be substituted for weekly rest

In other words

Indigo brought Govt on knees

There is possibility that Indigo used its 65% market share monopoly and deliberately manufactured this crisis to force govt to take back FDTL rules because it was hurting  profitability of Indigo

Though Indigo completely denied it

The Timing of Crisis

FDTL was implemented on 1st Nov then why crisis occurred 25 days later on 5th Dec when Putin was in India?

Yesterday this airlines crisis news completely overshadowed Putin's very imp visit to India

Media was talking only about this crisis

CEO of IndiGo Airlines is Pieter Elbers
He is from Netherlands (Europe)

Before joining Indigo on 6 September 2022, he worked in KLM Royal Dutch Airlines for 30 years

He has served as Chair of the IATA Board of Governors (BoG), the main governing body of

International Air Transport Association

He was also s a board member of the Confederation of Netherlands Industry and Employers (VNO-NCW), the main business lobby organisation in the Netherlands

VNO-NCW is a classic business lobby that interfaces heavily with the Dutch govt

and EU institutions on economic and regulatory policy.

He has been a member of the supervisory board of Marfo B.V., a Dutch food services company that supplies airline catering

He has also been associated with Clean Skies for Tomorrow (World Economic Forum initiative)

Clean Skies for Tomorrow is a World Economic Forum–backed multi-stakeholder platform: airlines, energy companies, researchers, and policy actors.

So in nutshell, he is a powerful stakeholder in European business and political circle

Dont forget just before Putin's visit Envoys of UK, France and Germany wrote a joint Op-ed

European power circle is not comfortable from Putin's India visit

So is it possible that Airlines crisis was deliberately manufactured to target Putin's visit to India?

Prima facie these things not look natural and raises many questions and there may be many other players involved in this fiasco

Whether this crisis was accidental or manufactured, Indigo airlines is responsible for the suffering of travelers and deserves strict punishment

The Social Media Psychological Warfare - Cyber PsyOps (Explained)

- What is Cyber PsyOp
- What are the Objectives
- Which are methods and tools
- Neuroscience behind PsyOp
- How to identify
- Counter measures

You can win the war without firing a single bullet by PsyOp

1/19

In this thread, I will explain each and everything related to Psychological Warfare (PsyOp)

PsyOp involves :

Strategic use of digital platforms 
To influence, manipulate, or disrupt

Perceptions
Emotions
Beliefs
Behaviors 
Of 

Targeted audiences 

Primary objectives of PsyOp is

1. Influencing and manipulate Public Opinion
2. Destabilize target society
3. Demoralizing target group

Like If I explain in India Pakistan context, the objective of Pakistan's PsyOp will be

1. Change the public opinion of Indians like 

"War is not necessary, Modi using war for election, War is between BJP and Pakistan, breaking IWT is unethical, Pakistan was not involved in terror attack etc"

2. Break the unity of India, create distrust between Political leadership and public, create animosity between

different section of societies of India

3. Demoralize Indians that they cant win this war, Pakistan will destroy India, Stock market will crash etc

So as I said in beginning by using PsyOps, you can win the war without even firing a single bullet by playing with minds of enemy

PsyOp and Neuroscience 

Human sense making system is actually dual core processor
Logical and Emotional

Our Pre frontal cortex (PFC) part of brain is responsible for reasons and logics and Amygdala is responsible for emotional response and both can be manipulated by PsyOps 

Our PFC collects facts from the world and makes rational decision but what if someone adulterate those facts ?

As some emotional situation like fear or excitement comes, Our Amygdala takes over our decision making and bypass PFC

Its called fight and flight response 

PsyOp Methods:

1. Disinformation : Spreading false or misleading information to confuse or mislead audiences. This includes fake news, doctored images, or fabricated stories
Like Modi will end the reservation

2. Propaganda campaign : Widely spread biased or emotionally 

charged content to reinforce specific narratives. Leveraging platform algorithms for amplification through bots, hashtags, or trending topics

3. Trolling and Memes Warfare : Using provocative posts, memes, or coordinated harassment to polarize, or demoralize audience like China 

PsyOp Tools:

1. Bots and Automated Accounts
2. Fake Accounts and Sock puppets: It means Pakistan creates fake accounts with name of Indians, BJP supporters, Hindus and post as per PsyOp agenda
ISI already have created a full army of Fake accounts and Sock puppets 

3. Data Analytics - Target group is segmented on based on their beliefs, values, lifestyle, social status, activities, interests and opinions and other psychological criteria and tailor made posts are created as per segments

4. Multimedia Content: designed to evoke emotional

responses or go viral

If I talk about specially India Pak case

Pakistan may use
- Bots
- Fake and sock puppet accounts by name of Indians
- Pakistani influencers
- Hire Indian SM influencers

Design narrative tool kits and campaigns in stages

How to identify PsyOps

1. Unusual Patterns: Sudden spikes in posts, trending hashtags, or coordinated messaging from accounts with low follower counts or recent creation dates

2. Inconsistent Narratives: Content that contradicts verified information like Ravish Kumar suddenly 

starts talking about maintaining Indus Water Treaty or Congress that was asking when India will attack, suddenly start talking about no war

3. Lot of Fake Accounts: Profiles with generic photos, incomplete bios, or repetitive posting behavior 

Amplified Divisiveness: Content that exploits sensitive issues to inflame tensions

Source Analysis: Lack of source or unverified sources, especially for sensational claims. Don't trust post without source specially sensational posts

Technical Tools can also be used to identify

Countermeasures

1. Public Awareness Campaigns: Educating users on media literacy to recognize disinformation and verify sources

2. Content Moderation by Govt

3. Immediately Counter-Messaging : Our role come here

4. Collaboration between Govt and SM platforms

6. Make Law

Psychological warfare on social media is a powerful tool in modern conflicts. Pakistan has expertise in disinformation war. ISI's ISPR has dedicated wing for this.
Pakistan has already started this and will intensify it

These were some basic info related to PsyOps

Just be vigilant and keep in mind all the identification methods I mentioned in this thread.

Don't trust in any unverified sensational post
Be vigilant when you come across any post which is different from ongoing narrative
Don't trust sock puppet or fake accounts

Ask any specific question if you have or let me know if you want more from me on this topic

Input 

Brahmins of India are on the hit list of the Deep State.

When the Deep State plans to destroy someone, it begins misinformation and propaganda campaigns against them 15–20 years in advance

1/4

This is the standard modus operandi of the Deep State.

It starts in the form of academic studies from Harvard or research papers from U.S.-based think tanks. Then, it is amplified by the media and further disseminated to academic institutions, media outlets, and

2/4

puppet political parties in the target country.

Currently, they are in the middle phase of this operation.

Brahmins are the biggest roadblock in the Deep State’s mission to destroy Hindu civilization. 

3/4

They have now realized that unless Brahmins are completely uprooted, it will be impossible to achieve their mission.

A message has been conveyed to all political leaders in India affiliated with the Deep State to act against the Brahmins.
