DGCA tightens norms for non-scheduled operators; says lapses cannot be simply blamed on pilots

Wait 5 sec.

Aviation watchdog DGCA is implementing stringent safety measures for non-scheduled flight operators. This follows recent plane crashes. Measures include public disclosure of aircraft maintenance history and a safety ranking system. Pilots' decisions to divert or cancel flights for safety will be respected. Accountable managers and senior leadership will be held responsible for non-compliance.
