Thiruvananthapuram: A high-level team of the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) on Saturday, conducted a preliminary inquiry into the hijack scare created by the Air India Express pilot even as union civil aviation minister Ajith Singh gave a clean chit saying that the commander had sounded a general alert.
The team led by BCAS Chennai regional deputy security officer Sharath Srinivas visited the Thiru-vananthapuram international airport and examined the cockpit voice recorder, the report of the airport authority’s voice recording analysing unit, visuals inside the aircraft and audio video recordings at the air traffic control.
The team also met the staff at the airport besides reviewing the proceedings of the meeting headed by the DGP on Friday.
The team’s preliminary impression was that the pilot’s response was natural as the situation inside the aircraft had gone out of hand. The report is likely to be submitted to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation on Monday.
