Mumbai:
Aviation Safety Regulator DGCA has imposed a fine of Rs 30 lakh on Tata Group owned Air India, allegedly allowing one of some pilots to fly without following some regulatory requirements.
In the order of 29 January, DGCA also said that it has found “recurrent rostering issues …” about the airline.
The order to slap the penalty came after the reaction of a show-causal notice to the head of Air India and the head of the rostering, among other officials, on 13 December, 2024, “unsatisfactory” was found on 13 December 2024. The regulator said in its order, “Pilot conducted a flight on July 3 on July 3 on July 3, which is not a compulsory requirement of 3 and requires landing, violating para 3 of civil aviation requirement. “
Air India did not respond to a PTI query on the issue.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) also said in its order that “(in Air India) ignored many spontaneous alerts reflected on CAE windows, according to the submission by M/S Air India Limited. “
“Now, therefore, in the practice of powers provided under Rule 162 of the aircraft rules, 1937 … (DGCA) is fined Rs 30,00,000 according to the order.”
