Pilots Allow Female Friend In Cockpit

Over a month after an Air India pilot was grounded for inviting his female friend into the cockpit, the airline has now initiated action against two pilots for inviting a woman into the cockpit of a Delhi-Leh flight last week.

Aviation regulator DGCA has issued a show cause notice to Air India CEO Campbell Wilson for the airline's lapses in reporting the incident of a pilot allowing a female friend inside the cockpit during a Dubai-Delhi flight on February 27.

The pilot had invited his female friend, who was travelling as a passenger, to join him in the cockpit shortly after takeoff from Dubai in February, news agency ANI reported.
