Two Air India pilots suspended for flying despite license issues, DGCA launches probe

Two Air India pilots were suspended earlier this week after they were caught flying despite license discrepancies. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation has now launched an investigation into the lapses and sought a detailed report from the airline. The incident is the latest in a series of scheduling and rostering issues that have plagued Air India over the past few months.

According to reports, a co-pilot and a senior captain were de-listed after the airline discovered they had each operated a flight without required certifications last month.
