New Delhi: Aviation watchdog Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Friday said that it is looking into an incident of aborted take-off involving an Air India Express flight from Singapore to Trichy carrying around 90 passengers.
The incident took place on Monday, when the pilots of Air India's low-cost international subsidiary went in for take-off procedures without receiving prior clearance from Singapore Air Traffic Control (ATC) at Changi airport.
The pilot was hauled up by the ATC, following which he aborted the take-off at very high speed, thus risking the lives of the passengers.
"We have started an investigation into the incident and we have to see in what circumstances did the pilots abort the take-off," senior DGCA official told.
According to the official, the aviation regulator is examining technical data to ascertain what all safety aspects were flouted in the process of the abortive take-off.
