DGCA India

Chaos in the Indian airline operations was seen last week as several flights got delayed due to Air India’s recruitment process. As per the news agencies report, Tata-owned Air India is on a hiring spree and therefore had scheduled interviews for Saturday (July 2).

The aviation safety regulator told that the matter is “of serious concern and unacceptable”. “After going through Air India submissions, as part of enforcement action, the competent authority has levied a fine of Rs 10 Lakh. In addition, the airline has been advised to directly put the systems in place to resolve the issue failing which further action shall be taken by DGCA,” the aviation watchdog told in a report.

SpiceJet told that it has 650 pilots trained on MAX aircraft and the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) had an observation of the training profile followed by 90 pilots. As per the advice of DGCA, the company refused these 90 pilots from operating MAX aircraft, until these pilots undergo re-training.
