Air India faces an ₹80 lakh fine from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) for breaching regulations on crew duty time limits. The penalty stems from instances of exceeding duty periods, mislabeled training records, and overlapping duties. Following a spot audit in January, DGCA collected evidence and analyzed random fleet reports. Violations included flights operated by crew members over 60 years old, contrary to aviation rules. DGCA asserts its commitment to aviation safety, emphasizing enforcement actions in line with regulatory standards.
