Dgca Action On Air India

Sending a tough message, the civil aviation regulator has suspended Air India's Chief of Flight Safety for a month after an inspection found lapses in the carrier's accident prevention protocol.

Amid recent incidents of unruly passenger behaviour, Air India has modified its in-flight alcohol service policy wherein cabin crew have been told to tactfully refuse further serving of alcohol if needed.

After DGCA initiated enforcement actions, Air India said it respectfully acknowledges the gaps in reporting with respect to the urination incident onboard a New York-Delhi flight last year and that relevant steps are being taken.

Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) suspended licenses of two Alliance Air pilots for one year after the plane they were operating overshot the runway in Jabalpur on March 12. DGCA said the "action or inaction" of pilots caused a safety issue.

Concerned over "predatory pricing" by airlines where the cost of tickets booked at the last-minute shoots up beyond the means of distraught passengers, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called for urgent remedial action by the Civil Aviation Ministry.
