Aviation Regulator Suspends Boeing Simulator Training Facility For Air India. Here's Why

The regulatory action against Air India came days after a DGCA inspection team allegedly found lapses in its internal safety audit reporting.

Aviation safety regulator DGCA has temporarily suspended the Boeing simulator training facility of Air India for certain alleged lapses, a source has said.

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) is "verifying" some of the documents pertaining to the matter and will take a call on the restoration of the training facility once it completes the process, the source said.

When contacted, a senior Air India official said DGCA carries out routine checks (on airlines) but did not divulge details.
