DGCA reprieve on deadline to phase-out expat pilots

Mumbai: Domestic air-operators seem to have earned a reprieve with the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) understood to have extended the deadline for phasing out expat pilots by one year.
The aviation industry regulator had earlier fixed July 31, 2010, as the deadline for domestic airlines to phase out their foreign pilots.
"The DGCA has given us more time to phase out expat pilots. It has extended the deadline by one year," a top industry official told PTI here.
