Air India pilots refuse to fly to Goa

Panaji: More than 600 pilots of the Indian Commercial Pilots Association (ICPA), one of Air India's pilots unions, have refused to fly to Goa.

They are resenting the unavailability of a landing aid feature that indicates the path for the pilot. This means pilots have to measure the landing purely by sight, a possible but difficult maneouvre.

Another feature which indicates the distance and route before touchdown has also been disabled.
