Oil prices rise after EU agrees Russian sanctions
Investing.com -- India’s aviation safety regulator has requested training records of pilots and dispatcher involved in last week’s Air India plane crash as part of its ongoing investigation, according to government memos, cited by Reuters.
The crash, which occurred last week, resulted in at least 271 fatalities when Air India’s Boeing (NYSE:BA) 787-8 crashed shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has made these requests as part of what it describes as a "regulatory" review of the accident.
In addition to seeking Air India’s records, the DGCA has instructed all flying schools across India to conduct training compliance checks, the report added.
The aviation watchdog has also requested details of actions taken by Air India following recent regulatory audits conducted in the past few months. The airline was directed to provide all requested information by Monday.
It remains unclear whether Air India has complied with the DGCA’s directive.
