Air India’s chief of flight safety Rajeev Gupta was suspended for a month after the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) found lapses in accident prevention protocols during a surveillance operation carried out in July.
DGCA’s surveillance carried out over two days, July 25 and 26, scrutinised key aspects including internal audits, accident prevention efforts, and the availability of essential technical manpower. The findings raised significant concerns about Air India’s adherence to safety protocols.
One of the major concerns identified was the inadequacy of the airline’s accident prevention measures.
