DGCA suspends two AirAsia India pilots for violations
Aviation regulator DGCA has suspended flying licences of two pilots of AirAsia India for violating procedures that caused damage to the wing sharklet of an aircraft, according to a senior official.
The left hand wing sharklet of an A320 aircraft that was to fly to Bengaluru was damaged while negotiating a turn from the runway at Bagdogra airport on February 15.
A sharklet is a wing-tip device that helps improve aerodynamics of an aircraft as well as reduce fuel burn.
