IndiGo says the Aeronautical Information Circular doesn't bar passengers to take pictures inside aircraft
New Delhi:
Half a dozen pilots for IndiGo are being investigated after they allegedly invited relatives into the cockpit of a plane and took photos with them.
Civil aviation regulator DGCA is handling the inquiry ,the result of a complaint filed by a man naed Alok Narula from Bengaluru.
The photos were reportedly taken last year.
The cockpit is meant to be strictly off-limits to passengers or anyone other than flight crew.
"We have learned that our flight crew have been probed against a case of cockpit access violation by the regulator, said an IndiGo spokesperson said in a statement according to the Press Trust of India.
She reportedly said that rules do not "specifically bar bonafide passengers to take pictures inside the aircraft."
