New Delhi: Aviation regulator DGCA has suspended the pilot-in-command of an AirAsia
India flight for three months as he caused a runway incursion incident at Mumbai airport
on November 5, a senior official said on Saturday.
"The Air Traffic Control (ATC) gave clear instructions to the pilots of flight IAD374 - which was heading to Indore - to just stand at the holding point RWY32 at Mumbai airport. Even though, the co-pilot read back ATC instructions correctly to the PIC, the latter breached the holding point," the official of Directorate General of Civil Aviation said.
The DGCA, therefore, issued show cause notices to both the pilots. In response, the pilot-in-command (PIC) admitted his lapses, the official said.
