Air India Takes Action Against Trainer

In a recent development, Air India has decided to terminate a simulator trainer pilot due to allegations of failing to properly discharge his duties during recurrent simulator training for pilots. This decision comes after a whistleblower came forward with concerns, leading to a detailed investigation.

Impact on Pilots

As a precautionary measure, ten pilots who underwent training under the supervision of the terminated trainer have been removed from flying duties. The airline is conducting further investigations to ensure the safety and reliability of its operations.

Commitment to Ethical Standards

Air India has voluntarily reported the matter to the DGCA, showcasing its commitment to transparency and ethical standards. The airline has also implemented the Tata Code of Conduct to foster a culture of integrity and accountability among its employees.

Enhancing Corporate Culture

Since its acquisition by the Tata Group in January 2022, Air India has been on a path to cultural transformation. The introduction of the Tata Code of Conduct is part of this journey, aiming to establish clear behavioral expectations and accelerate cultural change within the organization.
