DGCA suspends Air India’s chief of flight safety, alleges lapses
Air India’s Chief of Flight Safety Rajeev Gupta was suspended on Thursday for one month after the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) uncovered multiple lapses during a surveillance carried out in July.
“The DGCA surveillance (conducted on July 25 and 26) found deficiencies in the accident prevention work carried out by the organisation and the availability of requisite technical manpower as required in the approved flight safety manual and the relevant Civil Aviation Requirements,” the aviation regulator’s statement noted.
