Air India has introduced a tool in its rostering system that will help in mitigating fatigue among pilots as well as put in place various initiatives to ensure the stability of rosters and minimise disruptions.
These moves by the Tata Group-owned full-service carrier also come at a time when there are rising concerns in certain quarters about fatigue among pilots and ways to deal with the issue amid rising air traffic and flights.
In his weekly message to the employees on Friday, Air India chief Campbell Wilson said the airline has introduced several new initiatives in tandem that seek to increase the stability of printed rosters and minimise disruptions, utilise standby blocks optimally, and set up efficient communications channels.
