The General Directorate for Civil Aviation (DGCA) found that during its 23 audits of eight domestic airlines last year, PTI quoted DGCA 263 statements.
However, DGCA noted that a higher number of audit findings or forfeiture for airlines with extensive operations is “completely normal”. The regulator indicated increased lunges during Air India audits.
According to DGCA, 93 found Audit Air-Included Air India (along with now Menged Vistara) and Air India Express have been concerned in the last year. These include 19 levels-1 violations, which are considered critical security risks and requires immediate corrective measures of the airline.
DGCA also encountered 100 violations and observations related to Air India training, resting standards and crew operators and airport qualifications, PTI quoted resources as on Tuesday. They added that DGCA mentioned these violations in 51 Audit Air India.
The Aviation Regulator stated that it is performing audits to increase traffic safety and ensure compliance with regulations and continuous improvement in all aspects of airlines operation.
“It should be emphasized that the air companies with extensive operations and large fleet sizes are quite normal for the audit,” PTI said, quoting DGCA.
“The quantum and scale of their activities mean that such observations reflect the width and depth of their operations rather than unusual slump,” he added.
What data she said:
The DGCA data showed 23 audit findings with Indigo, 14 with Spicejet, 57 with Alliance Air, 35 with fast current, 41 with Ghodat Star and 17 with former Vistar.
DGCA findings, which are considered critical risks and require immediate corrective measures, are categorized as level 1, while non-compliance-2 fails to comply.
Aviation regulators around the world commonly encounter similar patterns with the main carriers for the diversity and intensity of their businesses.
The regulators then formally alert the relevant airlines and are obliged to submit timely compliance and corrective measures.
“DGCA assures the public that these processes are robust and that the presence of these findings is evidence of active supervision of regulation,” the statement said.
