New Delhi: The Directorate General for Civil Aviation (DGCA) has decided to dispense off the service of the Air India Chief Flight Operations Inspector (CFOI), who allegedly drew salary from both the national carrier and the DGCA for two years after being deputed at the aviation regulator, sources said.
He is likely to be sent back to Air India as the contract ends on June 30, according to highly placed sources.
The officer was reportedly a joint manager in the national carrier till January 2017 and was then deputed in DGCA. The alleged scam came to light in January last year.
Following the claims, Air India conducted an internal enquiry before urging the DGCA in June last year to relieve the CFOI, so that the airline could bring him back and investigate the allegations. However, the DGCA did not agree to the request then.
There are, however, contentions regarding the alleged scam. A person in the know said that this matter has complications and a lot of effort would have to be made to resolve it internally. "When the pilot is returning the extra payments he had received, then there is no point of an investigation left," the source said. Several people, however, have different opinions.
