'AI Exp flight operations confirm to regulatory requirements'

Mumbai, May 24 (PTI) Air India Monday said its subsidiary
Air India Express' flight operations were in conformity with
regulatory requirements and all its pilots and engineering
staff are fully-qualified and trained to run operations in
tune with international procedures.
"We wish to reiterate that Air India Express meets all
regulatory requirements and has been always well-equipped to
handle the operations and maintenance of its fleet to
established standards," an Air India statement said.
The statement was issued after a section of the media
reported that the commander of the Air India Express IX-812,
which crashed in Mangalore last Saturday, had allegedly not
followed the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA)-laid
down procedures for landing.
"Apart from independent administrative and technical
staff, Air India Express has fully-trained and qualified
pilots and engineers to run their operations," it said.
Moreover, Air India Express, being a part of the National
Aviation Company of India Limited (NACIL) group, is fully
supported by Air India in terms of infrastructure and
services, the airline said.
It also said that Air India Express is an airline with an
independent Air Operator Permit, owned and operated by a
subsidiary of NACIL. PTI IAS
