Regulator Points to Training Lapses, Rest Norm Violations, and Operational Oversight
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Wednesday (July 23) issued four showcause notices to Air India over repeated violations of cabin crew deployment, training lapses, rest regulations, and operational oversight that compromised flight safety.
The regulator has held multiple senior executives accountable and asked the airline to explain why enforcement action should not be initiated.
The DGCA has given the airline 14-15 days to respond. The regulator will proceed with enforcement action based on available evidence if Air India fails to reply to the notices.
The enforcement action comes weeks after the AI171 crash in Ahmedabad on June 12, wherein 260 people were killed.
