MUMBAI: Alleging “harassment” of cockpit crew by health officials at Delhi airport, national carrier Air India’s Airbus fleet pilots’ body ICPA on Sunday warned that its members will not operate any flight other than the essential services if such “distasteful” treatment meted out to them is not stopped.
In a letter to Air India Executive Director (Operations) R S Sandhu, the Indian Commercial Pilots Association (ICPA), which represents over 700 members, has also sought clarity on the protocol that is to be followed in case a pilot operating Vande Bharat Mission or domestic flights is tested positive for COVID-19.
Air India has been operating special evacuation flights to transport stranded Indian nationals from abroad in the wake of pandemic.
