Akasa Air has been issued a showcause notice by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) over regulatory breaches identified during a recent review of flight operations. The aviation watchdog has also issued an enhanced surveillance notice to Spicejet over lapses.
Akasa Air has one week to provide an explanation, a DGCA official said. “On the basis of spot audits, we found some discrepancies in the practical training sessions for crew [members]. The sessions were being simulated and completed without mandated approvals regarding adequacy of training standards,” the Indian aviation regulatory body said in a statement. An Akasa Air spokesperson said, “We will submit a response as per the protocol.”
