A US district court in Washington has issued summons to Air India in a multi-million dollar law suit filed by Anthony P Keyter, a former manager and senior instructor pilot of the Boeing Company.
In his law suit, Keyter sought restitution and amends from Air India for allegedly violating aviation laws, adversely affecting flight safety. In his capacity as a senior instructor pilot, Keyter was posted in India for two-and-a-half months in 2005 as part of the Boeing team’s programme to train Air India pilots after it placed a business deal of more than $11 billion.
The law suit charges that during his stay in India, Keyter “observed habitual violations of the aviation laws by Air India”, having an adverse impact upon flight safety, endangering the lives of passengers.
