Air India ordered to dismiss 3 officials over safety lapses
India's aviation regulator, the DGCA, has taken strict action against three senior Air India officials after discovering the airline scheduled flight crews without proper licenses or enough rest.
These issues popped up during a recent system change and highlighted some serious compliance gaps.
TL;DR
Disciplinary proceedings underway
The three—Choorah Singh, Pinky Mittal, and Payal Arora—have been pulled from their scheduling roles and moved to non-operational positions while disciplinary proceedings begin.
The DGCA has also warned that any future slip-ups could mean heavy fines or even license suspensions for those involved.
