Air India operations head comes under close scrutiny of DGCA

New Delhi: Taking note of the allegations made against Air India’s operations head Capt A K Kathpalia, DGCA is gathering information to ascertain whether he had skipped compulsory pre-flight medical test on multiple occasions. Following the regulator’s orders, Air India has already taken him off flying duties after he skipped the pre-flight medical test while operating a flight on January 19.
A senior DGCA official today said Kathpalia did not take medical test either before or after the flight on that day.
Amid allegations that he had skipped the mandatory medical tests on various occasions, the aviation regulator will be gathering medical information from the doctors who carry out such tests.
This is to check whether Kathpalia had skipped the tests on earlier occasions also, according to the DGCA official.
