About 30 incidents involving aircraft take place daily, says DGCA
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) said that 30 incidents daily take place but these hardly have any safety implications.
“On average, about 30 incidents do take place, including go-around, missed approaches, diversion, medical emergencies, weather, technical and bird hits,” the top DGCA told ANI.
“Most of them have no safety implications. On the contrary, they are a sine qua non of a robust safety management system,” he added.
The comments assume significance on the back of similar incidents reported in the recent past in SpiceJet which has resulted in a lot of hue and cry. On July 5, a SpiceJet aircraft after take-off suffered a bird hit and returned back to Patna.
