NEW DELHI: India has reprimanded its aviation safety regulator for failing to guard against officials using their influence to help family members get jobs in the sector and for delays in disclosing such placements, government documents reviewed by Reuters show.
India's Ministry of Civil Aviation has repeatedly challenged its safety body, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), since mid-2025 over the handling of conflicts involving officials' relatives in airlines, including an instance that involved Air India, according to the documents.
