IndiGo training unit suspended

New Delhi: In a shock development, the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) has suspended the licence of the aviation security training facility of market leader IndiGo for alleged lapses in the examination system conducted  by it. The orders issued by the apex aviation security agency BCAS last week reportedly bar the airline from conducting security training programme for its employees any further.

BCAS chief Kumar Rajesh Chandra was quoted by news agencies as saying, "There was a complete breach of trust. What they did was without informing the BCAS they (the training centre) changed from computer-based to pen and paper examination.”

BCAS found that  for as many as eight batches, all the candidates got over 95 per cent marks, he said.  Chandra said, it was found that the centre was "repeating the same set of question papers”
