Air India Facility In Hyderabad

DGCA has suspended simulator training activities for A320 pilots at Air India's facility in Hyderabad, close on the heels of suspending the training activities for Boeing pilots at the Tata Group-owned airline's facility in Mumbai.

An airline has to pay various charges -- air navigation, landing, parking etc -- to AAI, which works under the Civil Aviation Ministry, to use facilities at any of its more than 100 airports.

Making flying easier, state-run Air India has made available self check-in facility to its fliers at 26 domestic airports, including in Mumbai, Chennai, Delhi and Hyderabad, which allows passengers to skip check-in queues and head to a dedicated baggage drop counter.

The Joint Venture is yet to begin operations. IRL has no connections with the Indian Air Force purchase of AW101 helicopters," the spokesperson had said in an email reply
