DGCA AIR India requires the removal of 3 staff officials on “recent safety laps”

Air organizer, Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), ordered immediate action against three senior officials of Air India after serious and repeated violations related to the schedule of the flight staff.

It is important to note that none of these pendants is associated with AI171 crash.

On June 21, DGCA ordered the airline to remove three officials, including a senior aviation official, for “the systematic failure of the staff scheduling, monitoring compliance and internal accountability.”

The officials named Tathi Singh, Deputy Head of the Department; Pinky Mittal, Director – DOPS, Candidate Stand; Payal Arra, Candidate Standing – Planning.

According to the DGCA ranking, these individuals participated in several lapses, including unauthorized and unauthorized pairs, violations of licensing standards, staff comfort and systematic failure in supervision.

These lapses, which voluntarily revealed by the airline, revealed that the airline crew has been scheduled and operated despite the failure to meet the rules of licensing, comfort and mandatory repetition. Violations were detected during a post-weapons transition (Aviation Resources Management System-Integrated Aviation Company used to manage the crew) for the aviation management and crew system.

The matter said: “It is not especially anxious that there are no strict disciplinary measures against the main officials responsible for these operational lapses.”

The following trends were released by the organizer with an immediate effect:

1. M/S Air India is directed to remove the above officials from all roles and responsibilities related to the staff and the existing scheduling.

2. The internal disciplinary measures against these officials must begin without delay, and this office must be informed of this office within 10 days from the date of the issuance of this message.

3. The above -mentioned officials must be resets for non -operational roles pending the conclusion of corrective reforms in scheduling practices, and not filling any position that includes a direct impact on aviation safety and compatibility with the crew until further notice.

4. Any future violation of the staff standards, licensing, or time restrictions of the journey discovered in any after examination or inspection, will attract strict enforcement procedures, including, but not limited to penalties, suspending the license, or withdrawing the operator’s permissions as necessary.

“We acknowledge the direction of the organizer and we have implemented the matter. Meanwhile, the company’s chief operational employee will provide direct supervision of the Integrated Operations Monitoring Center (IOCC).
