India’s aviation regulator, on Friday, May 12, imposed a fine of 3 million rupees ($36,496 million) on an airline, Air India.
The airline was fined after a pilot of the private airline was found violating safety norms by allowing a friend inside the cockpit during a flight.
The investigation into the incident was carried out after a complaint was filed by a cabin crew member of the Dubai-Delhi flight in February, the Directorate-General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) said.

Based on the complaint, the DGCA issued a show cause notice to the private airline in April.
During the investigation, the DGCA found the pilot guilty of violating safety norms and also warned the co-pilot for not being assertive in preventing the violation.
