Air India pilot refused to continue the flight and said his duty time was over

During an international flight from London to Delhi, an Air India pilot made an unscheduled stop in Jaipur and refused to continue the flight, citing the completion of his duty time.

The incident caused inconvenience to passengers as the flight was unable to proceed as scheduled. The pilot’s decision highlights the strict adherence to duty hour regulations for flight crew members, which prioritize safety protocols and prevent fatigue-related risks.

Air India and relevant authorities are likely to conduct an investigation to ensure compliance with flight regulations and take appropriate measures to minimize such disruptions in the future. Passenger safety and adherence to aviation protocols remain paramount in such situations.
