Aviation regulator DGCA has suspended two senior executives of AirAsia India for a period of three months over “safety violations”, said a senior official on Tuesday.
The suspension was carried out a week ago, the official said.
In June this year, one of the AirAsia India’s former pilots — who runs a YouTube channel called Flying Beast — alleged violations of safety norms by the low-cost airline.
“We had issued a show-cause notice to two AirAsia India executives — Head of Operations Manish Uppal and Head of Flight Safety Mukesh Nema — in June only. It has been decided now to suspend them for a period of three months,” the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) official said.
