New Delhi: No airline, however large, will be permitted to cause hardship to passengers through planning failures or non-compliance with statutory provisions, Civil Aviation Minister K Ram Mohan Naidu told Lok Sabha on Tuesday, as he emphasised that IndiGo's operational disruptions are \"stabilising swiftly\".

Amid the Opposition accusing the government of creating a duopoly in the civil aviation sector, Naidu insisted that the government is determined to build a more robust and competitive aviation ecosystem while encouraging more new airlines to operate in India, \"ensuring fair access to airport capacity and eliminating any possibility of duopoly in our skies\".

Increased competition will lead to \"more choice, more affordability and more resilience\" for passengers, he said.
