DGCA suspends Air India’s simulator facilities in Mumbai, Hyderabad
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has suspended Air India’s (A-I’s) Airbus simulator facility in Hyderabad a day after cracking down on the airline’s Boeing simulator unit in Mumbai.
This came after the regulator found certain “lapses” during a spot check.
With the suspension of all Air India’s simulator facilities in the country, no pilot of the airline can undergo licence renewal or flight refresher courses.
As a result, the licences and other certifications of these pilots could lapse, affecting their ability to fly commercial flights.
