The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Thursday (September 21) suspended the Chief of Flight Safety at Air India for one month for certain lapses. The development comes after the aviation watchdog found lapses in the accident prevention work carried out by the airline.
DGCA officials conducted surveillance of Tata Group-owned Air India on July 25 and 26 in the areas of internal audit, accident prevention work and availability of required technical manpower.
According to a statement issued by DGCA, these checks were carried out in line with the flight safety manual and requirements of civil aviation.
