DGCA to act against airlines for failing to stop onboard photography in flights

Following violation of air safety norms by mediapersons in IndiGo’s Chandigarh-Mumbai flight that had actor Kangana Ranaut as a passenger, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) today issued an order saying that any violation of photography norms will attract suspension of the airline’s flight in that route.

“It has been decided that from now on, in case any such violation occurs on any Scheduled Passenger Aircraft – the Schedule of the flight for that particular route shall be suspended for a period of two weeks from the next day i.e. the day following and shall be restored only after the airline has taken all the necessary punitive action against those responsible for the violation ,” DGCA said in an order issued to all airlines.
