The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has issued four show cause notices to Air India concerning various regulatory infractions, according to sources at ANI.
The infractions include failures in adhering to Flight Duty Period and Weekly Rest requirements, cabin crew duties, crew training, and operational protocols. These notices followed Air India's voluntary disclosures made in June.
Air India is required to respond to the notices within a 14 to 15 day period, explaining why no punitive action should be enforced under Aircraft Rules and Civil Aviation Requirements. If Air India fails to respond, the matters may be resolved without further input, based on existing evidence. The airline acknowledged receipt of these notices, underscoring their dedication to crew and passenger safety.
