NEW DELHI, July 1 (Reuters) - A panel of Indian

lawmakers will review safety in the country's civil aviation

sector and has invited several industry and government officials

to answer questions on July 9, with topics set to include Air

India's recent plane crash.

The upper house of India's parliament has asked airport

operators, air traffic controllers and airlines including Air

India and IndiGo to take part in a comprehensive

review of passenger safety, according to a memo drafted for the

meeting and seen by Reuters.

The gathering comes after the June 12 Air India disaster

that killed 260 people, including 241 on board, when a Boeing

787-8 jet crashed within a minute of take-off from

India's Ahmedabad. Investigators are still probing what caused

the world's worst aviation accident in a decade.

Though the memo did not mention the crash, R K Chaudhary, a

lawmaker on the panel, told Reuters that it planned to discuss

the matter internally and during the meeting.

"If we will not raise questions on it, they (airlines) will

not become vigilant about these issues," he said.

The Indian government has said data from the front recorder

of the crashed plane was accessed by a team led by India's

Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau, with the U.S. National

Transportation Safety Board.

Air India has been getting warning notices for compliance

lapses in recent days.

India's aviation watchdog last month warned the airline over

"repeated and serious violations" related to pilot duty

scheduling. It has also warned Air India for breaching safety

rules after three of its Airbus planes flew despite

being overdue checks on escape slides.
