DGCA summons Air India, AI Express amid crash probe and multiple flight disruptions
India's aviation regulator has summoned top officials of Air India and
Air India Express
for an urgent meeting on Tuesday amid the ongoing probe into the London-bound Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (
DGCA
) called a virtual meeting, which will be chaired by DG Fazi Ahmed Kidwai.
The meeting particularly comes after last week's fatal crash of AI171, a Dreamliner service from Ahmedabad to London that resulted in the deaths of 241 passengers and in the wake of operational irregularities that have disrupted international flight schedules for several consecutive days.

Furthermore, in a memo, as reviewed by Reuetrs, the DGCA has asked Air India to submit the training records of the pilots and dispatchers involved in the Ahmedabad–London Dreamliner plane that crashed last Thursday.
The watchdog is also said to have directed all flying schools in India to reverify compliance with approved training procedures and safety protocols.
