It has been five months since the central government permitted the access of internet services to passengers through onboard Wi-Fi. On Wednesday, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation drafted new rules for the use of portable electronic devices that can be carried by passengers.
The draft revisions of the Air Safety Section of Civil Aviation Requirements was released after six years. They were last revised in 2014 when the use of mobile telephones inside an aircraft was not permitted—provided they were switched to “flight” mode.
