The accused pilot will not be allowed to enter Air India premises without written permission.

An Air India pilot was suspended after a female co-pilot accused him of sexual harassment in a written complaint to the airline management. 

A probe into the matter was initiated and the letter of suspension was released by the Regional Director Northern Region on Monday.

According to reports in India Today, both the pilots in question are based out of Delhi and had gone to Hyderabad on May 5 for training purposes, when the alleged incident took place.

Following the incident, Air India CMD, Ashwani Lohani, expressed his displeasure over the incident and the management issued a circular to curb sexual harassment.

The accused pilot will face five restrictions during the suspension period where he will not be allowed to enter Air India Limited premises without written permission; cannot leave the station (Delhi) without prior permission of the Regional Director; not allowed to enter in any employment or vocation; will have to surrender Pilot In Command/ID card; and will not be eligible for any wages except the subsistence allowance.
