DGCA Cracks Down on Air India Over Crew Scheduling Lapses; 3 Officials Removed, Disciplinary Action Ordered for ‘Systemic Failure’

In a strong regulatory move, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has directed Air India to immediately remove three officials, including a divisional vice president, from all responsibilities related to crew scheduling and rostering. The June 20 order cited a “systemic failure in crew scheduling, compliance monitoring, and internal accountability,” and instructed the airline to initiate internal disciplinary proceedings against the officials without delay. Responding to the directive, an Air India spokesperson confirmed that the order has been implemented, with the airline’s Chief Operations Officer now directly overseeing the Integrated Operations Control Centre (IOCC). The Tata-owned carrier reiterated its commitment to upholding aviation safety standards and ensuring full compliance with all regulatory protocols. Air India Cabin Crew Members Terminated for ‘Falsifying Critical Information’ During Probe, Says Airline.
