Jet Airways suspends pilot for allowing trainee to land
Jet Airways has suspended a pilot and a crew member for allowing a trainee pilot to land a plane in the western city of Mumbai.
The pilot was suspended for two and a half months following the incident where he apparently allowed a trainee pilot to take over from the co-pilot and land the plane, reports the BBC.
But since the incident, which is reported to have happened four months ago, he has resumed flying again.
The Indian airline said action had been taken based on "appropriate investigations and a confidential report".
A spokesman for the airline told the Press Trust Of India news agency that they had been in talks with the aviation regulator DGCA over the incident.
"They are completely satisfied with the steps taken. In line with international practises on enforcing safety, a voluntary and confidential reporting system exists in Jet Airways for all its employees," the spokesman said.
