New Delhi: Two Air India pilots have been suspended after they allowed a South Indian actress to sit inside the cockpit mid-air on a Bangalore-Hyderabad flight in flagrant violation of safety norms.
"Both pilots have been suspended and taken off the roster. An inquiry is going on," airline officials said, adding that the matter came to light after a passenger lodged a complaint with the airline. The pilots have been identified as Jagan M. Reddy and S. Kiran.
In his complaint, the passenger said the actress was allowed into the cockpit when the plane was mid-air. She occupied the observer's seat during the flight, which is reserved for examiners and observers authorized by the DGCA.
