Air India was fined ₹1.10 crore by the DGCA for violating safety regulations

On October 29, of last year, a former Air India pilot filed a complaint regarding this practice with the DGCA and the Civil Aviation Ministry. The pilot had been a commander on a B777. The airline was found to have violated regulations, according to the DGCA's investigation. It went on to say that the investigation had, at least on the surface, shown that the airline had not agreed. As a result, Air India Limited's responsible manager received a show-cause notice.

A statement issued by the DGCA said that the response to the show cause notice was duly examined about the conditions prescribed under the relevant statutory provisions and the performance limits prescribed in the key documents prescribed by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). Air India has been slapped with a hefty fine of ₹1.10 crore for safety violations amid several in-flight irregularities. DGCA said security violations occurred on some important long-distance routes.
