All aircraft personnel, including pilots and cabin crew members, will have to undergo breath analyser test from October 15 onwards, with the DGCA lifting the related curbs that were in place due to the pandemic.
Amid the pandemic, the breath analyser test that is done to check whether any crew member has consumed alcohol, was limited to 50 per cent of the aircraft personnel.
Further, following an order passed by the Delhi High Court in May 2021, the number of breath analyser tests that can be conducted in one hour was limited to six.
