New Delhi, Apr 12 (TOI): After six airlines including Air India broke rules, undertaking blind landings at the Goa airport, Air India's pilots body has issued a directive to all pilots asking them to not fly to Goa.
Six airlines landed at the Goa airport without navigational aid between April 7 and April 10 2011, putting the lives of thousands of fliers at risk.
The commercial pilots association has asked pilots to wait till the landing aids are fully functional.
The Indian Commercial Pilots Association (ICPA) issued a letter on Monday stating , "All pilots are hereby directed not to undertake flights to VAGO (Goa) till the landing aids such as PAPI and GP are fully available and functional."
Showing disregard for safety of flyers, no less than six airlines made virtually blind landings in Goa without any navigational aid for which they were pulled up by the DGCA.
