New Delhi, July 19: The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) today launched an investigation into an incident in which a ground handler was injured when the wheels of an Air India plane crushed his legs while preparing for take-off at the IGI airport here.
As part of the probe, DGCA summoned the pilots and engineers of the aircraft, bound for Mumbai, and questioned them, official sources said.
They said any further action would be taken only after the report of the preliminary inquiry was received.
Air India has also ordered a separate inquiry into the incident which occurred late last night when the nose-wheel of the Airbus A-321 crushed ground handler Ram Kishore’s legs as it was being pushed back while preparing for take-off.
