The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) said delayed salary payments at Jet Airways could pose a potential safety risk, reports The Economic Times. The aviation regulator flagged off these concerns to the Naresh Goyal-promoted airline as part of its audit of the carrier.
“Non-payment of salaries is a concern and DGCA’s audit flags it as a type 2 concern (sic),” a government official told the newspaper. Sources said the airline is yet to send its response. As per the report, type 2 concerns don’t impact the safety of the airline directly but could potential do so.
In September last year, several passengers on a Jet Airways flight from Mumbai to Jaipur suffered nose and ear bleeding after the crew ‘forgot’ to turn on a switch that controls cabin air pressure.
An airline spokesperson told the newspaper it hadn’t received any report, adding: “The company continues to run normal operations as per schedule and with appropriate safety approvals as per DGCA. The airline is current in terms of payments as per the disbursement schedule that has been shared with the specific employee group.”
