AI puts on hold appointment of tainted official

Air India has put on hold the posting of a controversial senior pilot as head of northern region. On Tuesday morning AI announced appointment of Captain Arvind Kathpalia, who was removed as the airline’s director-operations last November after failing pre-flight breath analyser test twice, as regional director (northern region) from Wednesday. The decision met with protests from pilots' union.
