3 IndiGo pilots grounded for mid-air selfies
August 20, 2016
India's aviation safety regulator has grounded three IndiGo pilots for a week for taking selfies in a cockpit while airborne, a rising phenomenon which distracts pilots and may endanger lives.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation officially warned some pilots of Indian carriers, and may soon issue guidelines prohibiting mid-air selfies in cockpits, sources said.
An IndiGo spokesperson said that the pilots have been de-rostered for seven days for selfies taken about 1.5 years ago.
