Air India grounds two pilots for inviting female friend into cockpit

New Delhi: Over a month after an Air India pilot was grounded for inviting his female friend into the cockpit, the airline has now initiated action against two pilots for inviting a woman into the cockpit of a Delhi-Leh flight last week.

The Air India management acted against the pilot and the co-pilot soon after receiving a complaint from the cabin crew regarding an unauthorised female passenger entering the cockpit of the AI-445 aircraft

“A female friend of AI-445 pilot entered the cockpit without following rules, both pilots have been grounded/off-roster by Air India,” a top Air India official told ANI.
