Air India pilots allowed to fly 2 aircraft types
Acceding to a long-pending demand from Air India to allow it to use a common pool of pilots for different aircraft types, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has allowed a small batch of its cockpit crew to interchange between Boeing 777 and 787 aircraft on a trial basis to enable the airline to use its crew optimally at a time of a widening shortage of pilots.
