The directorate general of civil aviation (DGCA) has issued a show cause notice to Air India chief executive officer (CEO) Campbell Wilson and chief of flight safety Henry Donohoe for lapses in reporting an incident of a pilot letting his friend inside the cockpit in violation of safety norms in February.
HT had first reported about the breach on April 21, prompting the civil aviation regulator to launch a probe into the matter.
“Show cause notices have been issued to CEO Air India and Chief of Flight safety both, on April 21. For the lapses in not timely reporting of the DGCA safety instructions violations to DGCA and for the delay in investigating the incident,” an official familiar with the investigation said on condition of anonymity.
