Centre tells pilots’ body employee concerns not under its purview amid ICAO proposal row

The civil aviation ministry has informed pilots’ group Alpa India that airline employee concerns do not fall under the government’s purview, after the organisation objected to a working paper submitted by the Centre to the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) proposing to regulate the hiring of Indian aviators by foreign airlines.

The ministry’s reply came after Alpa India raised concerns on a centralised public grievance redress portal.
