DGCA starts 2 month long special audit of airlines amidst rising tech snags

Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has started a two month long special audit of airlines following this month’s spot checks that revealed that inadequate and unqualified engineering personnel are certifying carriers’ planes before their departure, officials reported.

The spot checks were carried out by the aviation regulator as a result of many technical malfunctions in Indian carriers’ planes in these last 45 days.
