On the recent increase in reports of back-to-back technical snags in aircraft and components, Director General of Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) Arun Kumar said that expectation of no component failures despite the requisite maintenance works is “unscientific and naive”.
In an interview with news agency ANI, Kumar said that an aircraft is a complex machine and has thousands of components and it may continue to be used for air operation subject to compliance of airworthiness requirements.
