India's aviation regulator DGCA has suspended Air India's Chief of Flight Safety for one month due to lapses found in the airline's accident prevention measures. A DGCA inspection uncovered deficiencies in the carrier's safety work and availability of required technical staff. It also found some internal audits were carried out in a cursory manner. The DGCA has barred the particular auditor involved from conducting further regulatory compliance checks. The suspension comes after shortcomings were detected in Air India's systems for averting accidents, prompting the DGCA crackdown to improve flight safety standards.
