6 IndiGo Pilots Took Photos With Family In Cockpit: Report

IndiGo says the Aeronautical Information Circular doesn't bar passengers to take pictures inside aircraft

• The alleged incident took place last year.
• Family members of IndiGo pilots posed for photos inside the cockpit
• 'Unauthorised access to cockpit' violates safety norms, regulators say

Half a dozen pilots for IndiGo are being investigated after they allegedly invited relatives into the cockpit of a plane and took photos with them.

Civil aviation regulator DGCA is handling the inquiry ,the result of a complaint filed by a man naed Alok Narula from Bengaluru.

The photos were reportedly taken last year.

The cockpit is meant to be strictly off-limits to passengers or anyone other than flight crew.

"We have learned that our flight crew have been probed against a case of cockpit access violation by the regulator, said an IndiGo spokesperson said in a statement according to the Press Trust of India.

She reportedly said that rules do not "specifically bar bonafide passengers to take pictures inside the aircraft."
