DGCA found safety management system of 5 airlines deficient: Govt
NEW DELHI: Aviation regulator DGCA has conducted safety audits of Air India Express, SpiceJet, AirAsia, IndiGo and GoAir and it found the implementation of their safety management system “to be deficient”, the government informed Rajya Sabha Wednesday.
Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said the audits also found that the flight crew rostering software was not upgraded and untrained staff were manning check-in counters.
The “other staff” at check-in counters too did not have adequate knowledge to handle “dangerous goods” despite being trained in Dangerous Good Regulations, he said in a written response to a question in the upper house.
