Aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has imposed a penalty of Rs 1.10 crore on Air India for safety violations amid a series of incidents of flight irregularities.
The safety violations took place on certain long-range terrain critical routes, the DGCA said.
More details of the penalty and the specific incident for which the penalty has been imposed are yet to be disclosed by the DGCA.
Earlier this month, DGCA had issued show cause notices to Air India and SpiceJet for not deploying pilots trained to operate in low visibility conditions, following diversions of various flights amid dense fog at the Delhi airport in late December.
During December 25-28 last year, flight operations were significantly impacted at the Delhi airport, and nearly 60 flights by various airlines were diverted due to dense fog.
