India’s air regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) flagged more than 50 separate safety violations at Air India during an audit this month.
It covers a wide range of lapses it says.
These included insufficient pilot training, rostering issues, and the use of non-approved flight simulators.
The airline is also in trouble for other recent maintenance record lapses and crew duty mistakes.
The audit report highlighted seven Level 1 serious breaches which have to be rectified this month.
There were 44 other less serious issues which must be fixed by August 23.
It found some Boeing 787 and 777 pilots had not completed all their necessary ‘training and monitoring duties’ ahead of evaluations.
The airline said it will ‘submit our response to the regulator within the stipulated time frame, along with the details of the corrective actions.’
