The aviation safety regulator in India has ordered “enhanced surveillance” for Boeing 737 aircraft in the country following the fatal crash of one that killed 132 people in China on Monday.
WHAT IS ENHANCED SURVEILLANCE?
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has already deployed monitoring teams to ensure that Indian carriers followed the prescribed norms in maintaining and operating their Boeing 737 fleets, given the unusual circumstances behind the China Eastern-operated Boeing 737-800 crash. The monitoring will continue till the aviation regulator in China ascertains the cause of the China Eastern crash and the aircraft’s role in it.
