The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) fined Air India Rs 30 lakh and suspended the Pilot in Command for three months for allegedly failing to take prompt and effective action in the February 27 Dubai-Delhi flight cockpit violation incident.
According to a complaint filed by a cabin crew member on the same flight who claimed that safety norms were violated, the pilot of an Air India AI-915 Delhi-Dubai flight on February 27 allowed a female friend to enter the cockpit.
The DGCA of India issued a show cause notice to Air India CEO Campbell Wilson and Chief of Flight Safety Henry Donohoe last month for failing to report the Dubai-Delhi flight cockpit violation incident on time.
The notice was issued on April 21, and you had 15 days to respond. “The CEO of Air India was served with a show cause notice for the February 27 incident,” a DGCA official told ANI.
According to the DGCA, the CEO of Air India received a complaint in this regard from one of the flight’s operating crew members. Despite the fact that this was a safety-sensitive violation, the organization did not take prompt corrective action. The complainant approached the DGCA anticipating a delayed response.
