NEW DELHI: The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Thursday issued a present trigger notice to Akasa Airlines over “several regulatory breaches identified during a recent review”. The airline has been requested to “provide an explanation for the lapses” inside seven days.
“The DGCA’s spot audit and scrutiny revealed practical training sessions conducted by Akasa Airlines were completed and simulated without the mandated requisite regulatory approvals raising significant concerns regarding the adequacy of training standards and operational readiness,” the regulator stated in a press release.
The violations pertain to non-compliance with civil aviation necessities (CAR or DGCA guidelines) pertaining to “flight crew standards, training and licensing.”
DGCA reiterated that it “remains committed to upholding the highest safety and operational standards in the aviation industry and will take all necessary action to enforce regulatory compliance.”
