Aviation watchdog DGCA has slapped a fine of Rs 1.10 crore on Air India for safety violations with respect to flights operated on certain long routes.
The regulator carried out a detailed probe after receiving a voluntary safety report from an airline employee alleging safety violations of flights operated by Air India on certain long range terrain critical routes, according to a release on Wednesday.
Since the investigation prima facie revealed non-compliance by the airline, DGCA said a show cause notice was issued to Air India.
The safety report pertained to leased aircraft operated by Air India.
