A-I suspends IPG chief, 27 pilots move court Mumbai, April 30 Some pilots defied the IPG directive and reported for duty as the airline planned to hire pilots of Indian origin, working with foreign airlines and temporarily laid off, to augment its services. Captain Khan was served with a suspension notice last night after he refused to operate the London-Mumbai Boeing 747 flight last week demanding a certificate from the A-I that the accompanying crew had not flown to a SARS-affected area for the past 10 days. The airline also stepped up its security at the Sahar terminal so that pilots wanting to report for duty are conducted “safe passage” to prevent IPG hardliners stopping them, A-I officials said.
