Air India crash aftermath handled 'irresponsibly', says court

Air India crash aftermath handled 'irresponsibly', says court

The Kerala High Court has criticized the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) for its "irresponsible" handling of the aftermath of the Air India Express crash in 2020. The court stated that the DGCA was irresponsible in suggesting through media leaks that the crash was caused by pilot error, even before the completion of the official investigation. The judges noted that the DGCA's actions were unethical and violated the principles of fair investigation. They emphasized that the premature release of such information could have a detrimental impact on the morale of the aviation community and the public's trust in the investigation process. The court has directed the DGCA to refrain from making any further comments or leaks to the media regarding the ongoing investigation until the final report is released. The judges stressed the importance of maintaining the integrity and transparency of the investigation process to ensure justice for the victims and their families.
