New Delhi: A Jet Airways pilot and a cockpit crew member have been suspended for two and a half months for allowing a trainee pilot to take over from the co-pilot and land the aircraft in Mumbai, endangering the lives of all on board.
The suspension comes after Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) asked the airlines to take action against the pilot and the chief of its flight safety in connection with the incident that took place about four months ago, official sources said.
A Jet Airways spokesperson said the action against the pilot and another member of the cockpit crew was taken based on "appropriate investigations and a confidential report".
The DGCA had asked the Jet Airways to take action against the chief of its flight safety in connection with the incident.
"In line with international practises on enforcing safety, a voluntary and confidential reporting system exists in Jet Airways for all its employees", she said.
