The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) today suspended for one year the licence of two pilots of Alliance Air, who while landing their plane overshot the runway at the Jabalpur airport on March 12.

Officials said the regulator noted that the two pilots were operating an ATR-72 aircraft when during landing at Jabalpur airport, the aircraft floated for a long period and touched down nearly 900 m after the aiming point (touchdown point).

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
