Air India pilots land in hot water for inviting female friend into cockpit, months after similar incident
After Air India received a complaint from the cabin crew, who raised concerns about the violation of cockpit regulations, the airline has taken disciplinary action against two pilots who permitted an unauthorized woman to enter the cockpit.
Following a recent breach of cockpit norms in flight AI-445, operating from Delhi to Leh, Air India has suspended both pilots.
To conduct a thorough investigation, Air India has formed a committee to delve into the matter, ensuring a comprehensive examination of the events surrounding the violation.
In response to the incident, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) stated that they are aware of the issue, and appropriate measures are being implemented in accordance with established procedures.
“Air India has a just culture approach to all safety related events and has a zero tolerance for deliberate breaches of regulations. Such breaches are dealt with on a serious basis and sanctions will be imposed on those who are in breach of the regulations,” an Air India spokesperson said.
Earlier, Air India was fined Rs.30 lakh by the DGCA for a previous breach of cockpit norms.
