DGCA Issues Notices to Air India Over Safety and Compliance Concerns
Air India is in trouble with the government agency that watches over airlines (DGCA).
The DGCA sent Air India four notices because the airline may have broken rules about how long pilots and flight attendants can work, rest, and if they were trained properly.
These issues were found after Air India told the DGCA about possible problems.
Air India said they will answer the notices and will try to keep their crew and passengers safe.
There was also a small increase in pilots calling in sick after a plane accident.
DGCA issued four show cause notices to Air India for regulatory violations.
Notices concern breaches in flight duty, crew rest, training, and operational procedures.
The notices followed voluntary disclosures made by Air India to the DGCA.
Air India acknowledged the notices and committed to responding within the stipulated period.
There was a slight increase in sick leave taken by Air India pilots after a recent plane crash.
