Aiming to enhance its safety oversight function, the Civil Aviation ministry is set to increase the number of safety related posts at the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).
“In order to strengthen the security of the aviation services, it has been decided to increase the safety related posts in DGCA as ensuring safe air operations is of paramount importance to the Ministry of Civil Aviation,” said Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia through the official twitter handle on Tuesday.
Recently, in a letter to the Civil Aviation Minister, Rajya Sabha member Priyanka Chaturvedi, on October 14, highlighted an incident of smoke inside the cabin of a flight and sought necessary action to ensure airlines maintain the highest level of safety standards.
