The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has laid down roles and responsibilities for airlines as part of its surveillance programme to strengthen flight safety, and warned of strict actions in case of non-compliance, people familiar with the development said.
The aviation regulator has also asked the airlines to take immediate and strict action in case an issue is pointed out to them.
“Flight safety is a serious business and it requires a systematic approach towards safety management. It has to be collaborative and correctional,” said Arun Kumar, director general, DGCA. “The organised response lays down roles and responsibilities of all concerned, which, if not discharged appropriately entails enforcement actions.”
