New Delhi: An Air India pilot who delayed a New Delhi-Kochi flight by three hours over a dirty oxygen mask has now been suspended, as per the latest reports.
Earlier in the day, news had come in that an Air India flight was delayed by three hours after its pilot refused to accept a "dirty" emergency oxygen mask and insisted for a "fresh" one before flying the plane.
Air India then initiated a probe into the incident, which took place yesterday when its Kochi-bound flight from Delhi Airport was readying for take-off.
The same aircraft was to fly on two other routes where too services got delayed because of the pilot's refusal to operate the flight due to "unhygienic" mask in the cockpit, an Air India official said here today.
"The pilot refused to accept the dirty emergency oxygen mask in the cockpit and delayed the flight by three hours. Due to this two other flights were also delayed," the official said.
