Aviation regulator happy with India’s safety procedures

Wednesday, 26 Aug, 2013 0

The International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) is believed to have cleared Indian airlines of safety concerns after a week-long audit of regulatory practices in the country’s aviation industry

According to the Economic Times, the global regulatory body no longer sees "significant safety concerns" in India’s airline operations.

The report of a clean bill of health comes at the start of a week when Air India makes its inaugural flight from Delhi to Sydney, arriving on Friday morning. The occasion will mark the first Dreamliner Boeing 787 passenger flight to Australia.

The ICAO had in December 2012 said it identified concerns in the ability of India to oversee airlines under its jurisdiction.

The ICAO primarily had two concerns: one about the air operator’s certificate not being in line with ICAO guidelines, and the fact that the India’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) had no certified process for approving modifications and repairs of planes done abroad.

The DGCA said both of these had been addressed.
