Air India Pilots Heavy Workload

On Thursday evening, a potent laser originating from an area near the airport was aimed into the cockpit of an Air India (AI) flight, temporarily causing blindness to the pilots as they were in the process of landing at Kolkata airport (CCU).

pilot unions of Air India (AI) – Indian Pilots’ Guild (IPG) and Indian Commercial Pilots’ Association (ICPA) – have called for urgent intervention from the civil aviation regulator concerning alleged workload exceeding duty hours.
