This won’t fly
[ad_1]
Air India’s chief of flight safety was suspended for a month by aviation regulator DGCA as it found transgressions of safety protocol during a surprise inspection. Reports were falsified on safety spot checks in Delhi, Mumbai and Goa. Procedures were flouted for pre-flight medical tests of pilots. Lapses were noted in aircraft cabin surveillance. Air India, which with Indigo has 73% of domestic market share, has accepted DGCA’s findings. It also claimed safety is its top priority. Are we entirely reassured? Safety is the non-negotiable aspect of air travel.
