DGCA grants temporary flight-duty relaxations to Air India
Change
DGCA granted Air India temporary relaxations to pilot Flight Duty Time Limitation norms, extending Flight Time to 11.30 hours and Flight Duty Period to 11.45 hours for two‑pilot long‑haul flights through April 30.
Why it matters
Relaxations apply to two‑pilot long‑haul flights rerouted via the Egypt corridor for European and North American services. Flight Time (FT) was extended by 1 hour 30 minutes to 11.30 hours. Flight Duty Period (FDP) was extended by 1 hour 45 minutes to 11.45 hours. The relaxations are effective through April 30. A Jeddah sector was planned with an FDP of 11.55 hours, exceeding the relaxation by 10 minutes.
Implications
- • Scheduled flights with FDP above 11.45 hours are not covered by the temporary relaxations.
- • A Jeddah sector planned at 11.55 hours FDP exceeds the relaxation ceiling by 10 minutes and lies outside the permitted limits.
