DGCA strict on airline companies
For the past few days, there is a sharp increase in the cases of emergency landings due to technical fault in the passenger planes. Now DGCA has shown strictness regarding this. Aircraft of any airline will be allowed to take off from the base or airport only if the licensed staff has given approval regarding its safety.
In fact, officers of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) had recently done spot checking in several flights. After its report, new instructions have been issued. The officers have said that the implementation of the DGCA’s order should be started by July 28. This order was necessitated because in the last one month only airlines like SpiceJet and Indigo have made emergency landings due to technical glitches.
