In April this year, Delhi high court closed a bunch of petitions filed by pilot groups and individual pilots on FDTL after DGCA assured the court of phase-wise implementation of a revised FDTL from July 1. TOI sent a query to five airlines about implementation of revised FDTL. Air India said it "confirms the successful implementation of Phase 1 of the new FDTL regulations, effective July 1, 2025". IndiGo said, "We are closely aligned with evolving regulatory requirements and continue to comply with DGCA's guidelines." None of the other airlines responded.
