Tata-owned Air India (AI) has raised objections to the Rs 1.1 crore fine imposed by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), the country’s aviation regulator, for safety violations.
A senior DGCA official stated, “The two airlines have to respond within 14 days. The notice is for rostering non-CAT III compliant pilots.”
On Tuesday, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) imposed a fine of Rs 10 lakh on Air India for non-compliance with civil aviation requirements (CAR).
Indian DGCA has issued a show cause notice to Air India CEO Campbell Wilson for the airline’s lapses in reporting the incident.
