The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has asked Air India to take corrective measures after the airline deployed a wrong aircraft for a flight to Vancouver last week.
A senior official at the DGCA confirmed that action has been taken against an airline official for the incident.
The incident occurred on March 19 when a Vancouver-bound Air India Boeing 777-200 LR aircraft returned to Delhi after it was found that the plane was not approved for operating the flight.
The approval is only for Boeing 777-300 ER to operate that flight.
Air India has been asked to take corrective measures to ensure that such incidents do not happen again.
