Goair Pilots Suspended

A GoAir A-320 NEO with 146 passengers onboard was moments away from potential disaster when its flight crew lost sight of the runway just 50 feet above the surface of Bengaluru airport in foggy weather conditions.

GoAir suspended some of its services for the second consecutive day on Tuesday as it cancelled 19 flights across destinations, leaving thousands of passengers stranded, a source said.

Aviation regulator DGCA on Tuesday suspended a SpiceJet pilot for six months for reaching the middle of an "active runway" at Ahmedabad airport when a GoAir flight had already started its departure roll there, sources said.
