New Delhi: Two pilots of an Air India flight, which landed at Mumbai airport last Friday without air traffic control (ATC) clearance, have been suspended.
"Pending the enquiry, the Air India management had suspended both the pilot and the co-pilot. They will not fly again till they come clean," a senior airline official said.
He said if they are found guilty, then further action would be taken against them.
Air India flight AI-944 from Abu Dhabi had reportedly landed at the Mumbai airport on Friday morning without the requisite clearance from the ATC.
Also, within 60 nautical miles of landing, the aircraft had changed its communication frequency, allegedly flouting laid-down procedures.
