NEW DELHI: The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has informed the Delhi high court it has no power or authority to interfere in the ongoing feud between pilots and Akasa Air, which has sought action against the pilots who resigned without serving the notice period.
The airline has blamed the DGCA for being “unwilling to take any action” and told the court it is facing “significant financial and operational hardship.”
In its response, DGCA said it would be in the interest of the parties that petitioner airline, Akasa Air, complies with the mandate of the aviation regulator to maintain a limited schedule if it does not have the necessary number of pilots to maintain flight operations.
