The Ahmedabad Air India aircraft accident on June 12 has not only affected the passengers, but has also made a profound impact on the airline employees, especially the pilots. After this accident, mental pressure has increased in the pilots of Air India, due to which the number of holidays taken due to illness has increased rapidly.
Just four days after the accident, 112 pilots reported to be ill on 16 June. These included 61 first officers (co-pilots) and 51 commanders (chief pilots). This situation is not only a matter of concern for Air India, but has become a serious issue for the entire aviation industry.
DGCA issued important instructions to Airlines
In view of the increasing mental pressure in the pilots, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has issued important instructions to all airlines. DGCA has advised that airlines should start special training related to mental health for their flight crew, ie pilots and co-pilots as well as air traffic controllers (ATCOS).
The purpose of this training is to recognize and solve mental health problems. Also, DGCA has suggested airlines to create a system in which employees can increase each other’s cooperation.
Civil Aviation Minister responded in Parliament
Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu, while replying to the issue in Parliament, said that mental health is an important part of security in the aviation industry. He informed that DGCA has instructed all airlines to promote mental health awareness for their employees. In this, emphasis will be laid on the employees dealing with stress, understanding mental health problems and encouraging time to seek help on time.
The Dreamliner 787-8 aircraft of Air India going from Ahmedabad to London had a crash, in which more than 260 people lost their lives. The aircraft crashed into a medical college campus 32 seconds after the take-off. The investigation of this accident is still going on.
