CBI Books Former DGCA Official Anil Gill in Corruption Case
· India · Indian Express, Hindustan Times, The Hindu
The CBI has registered an FIR against former DGCA Director of Flying Training Anil Gill for alleged corruption, criminal conspiracy, and regulatory favouritism. The agency alleges that Gill abused his position to grant undue favours to specific flying training organisations, causing financial disadvantage to other operators. Investigations suggest Gill facilitated the purchase of training aircraft through companies controlled by his relatives, which were then leased back to favoured organisations at inflated rates. The FIR also names four aviation-linked companies and unknown public servants. The case originated from a complaint filed by the Managing Director of Global Avianautics Ltd through the DGCA vigilance wing.
Why it matters
The investigation into regulatory misconduct at the DGCA impacts the integrity of aviation training approvals and raises questions about potential financial irregularities within the sector.
