The vice-president (VP) of Vistara airline’s pilot training was on Tuesday removed by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) over lapses in conversion training of pilots, which involved preparing narrow-body pilots to fly wide-body aircraft. According to sources, Vikram Mohan Dayal, VP, Training, at the full service carrier, has been suspended by the aviation watchdog, which has now asked the airline to find a replacement.
Vistara did not respond to Business Standard’s request for a statement till the time of going to press. Dayal was appointed VP, Training in May 2020.
