Air India Express has today expressed concern that the Mangalore air tragedy is being used to malign the company.
Two days back, Air India Express flight IX 812 has crashed on Saturday, killing 158 passengers and crew. The company said that it is implied that the operational and engineering infrastructure of the company is inadequate and does not meet the required norms.
"We wish to reiterate here that Air India Express meets all regulatory requirements and has been always well equipped to handle the operations and maintenance of its fleet to established standards. Apart from independent administrative and technical staff, Air India Express have fully trained and qualified pilots and engineers to run their operations. Additionally, Air India Express, being a part of the NACIL group, is fully supported by Air India in terms of nfrastructure and services," the company said in a press release today.
