'Air India Express lacks engineering staff, doctors'
Air India Express seriously lacked engineering staff and did not have a permanent doctor at the Mangalore airport to conduct pre-flight medical checks on the pilots and the cabin crew operating flights from there, the Court of Inquiry on Mangalore air crash was informed today.
Air India Express has tightened up operations after issues were raised by Directorate General of Civil Aviation related to its operations, maintenance, safety, security and commercial aspects.
