Aviation regulator DGCA has issued a show cause notice to Air India CEO Campbell Wilson for the airline's lapses in reporting the incident of a pilot allowing a female friend inside the cockpit during a Dubai-Delhi flight on February 27, according to a senior official.
A show cause notice has also been issued to the airline's Head of Safety, Security and Quality Functions Henry Donohoe.
A cabin crew member of the flight had filed a complaint with the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) about the pilot allowing a woman friend into the cockpit. The incident happened on February 27.
The show cause notices were issued to the Air India CEO and head of flight safety on April 21 for not doing timely reporting of the incident to DGCA, which is in violation of the regulator's safety instructions, the senior official at the DGCA told PTI on Sunday.
Besides, there was a delay in investigating the incident. Both the executives have been given 15 days to respond to the show cause notices, the official said.
There was no immediate comment from Air India.
Earlier this month, DGCA directed Air India to de-roster the entire crew of the Dubai-Delhi flight till investigations are complete.
On April 21, the airline said it had taken serious note of the reported incident and that investigations were underway.
Unauthorised people are not allowed to enter the cockpit and any such entry could be a violation of norms.
Recently, a flydubai flight landed safely at Dubai International Airport after the aircraft experienced a bird strike during takeoff from Nepal.
According to reports, there were 150 people on board, including 50 Nepali passengers.
A tweet by the Dubai Media Office quoted a flydubai spokesperson: "flydubai flight FZ 576 from Kathmandu Airport (KTM) has safely landed in Dubai International (DXB) at 00:11 local time after experiencing a bird strike during takeoff from Kathmandu."
