The committee will include two Air India Executive Directors in charge of Operations and Industrial Relations.

The DGCA has already said the licences of 3,000 to 4,000 Air India pilots will be under the scanner, including the 1,700 licences issued in the last two years.

Police arrested Parminder Kaur Gulati (38) of Indigo airlines and Jitender Kishen Verma (46) of Air India in the last one week.
