These officials were dismissed for failing to properly manage crew scheduling. This includes Divisional Vice President Chuda Singh, Chief Manager Pinki Mittal, responsible for crew scheduling, and Payal Arora, involved in crew scheduling planning.

Air India Immediately Complies

According to PTI, these orders were issued on Friday following the plane crash on June 12th, and Air India was instructed to take immediate action. Air India complied with the orders and removed all three officials from their positions.

According to the DGCA, these three officials were directly responsible for various violations. They are accused of violating regulations by conducting crew pairings against regulations, violating mandatory flight experience and licensing requirements, and failing to adhere to scheduling protocols.

DGCA Instructions

The orders mandate the immediate removal of the three officials from all responsibilities related to crew scheduling and rostering, and the immediate initiation of interdisciplinary action. They have also been instructed to submit a report to the DGCA within 10 days. Until the corrective process is complete, the three officials have been transferred to non-operational positions.
