A woman pilot and another crew member of state-owned Air India were grounded for three months after they failed a pre-flight alcohol test.
The crew members, who have been taken off from flying for failing to clear the pre-flight medical test were to operate Air India's Rajkot flight from New Delhi on January 25, sources said.
As part of the DGCA safety regulations, all pilots and cabin crew must undergo breath analyser test before and after flights.
Incidentally, airline's head of operations, himself a senior executive pilot, is under probe by a committee for allegedly skipping the mandatory test close to a month.
"The woman pilot and cabin crew along with other operating crew were rostered for Air India flight AI-9631 on January 25 for Rajkot from New Delhi. After they reported for duty, as per norms, they were told to undertake breath analyser test. However, the findings were positive," a source said.
