  • ‘Indian aviation sector completely protected’: DGCA leader on newest flight system faults

    Via PTI

    NEW DELHI: Aviation watchdog DGCA’s leader Arun Kumar on Sunday mentioned technical snags confronted by means of home carriers in fresh weeks didn’t have the possible to reason havoc and that even overseas airways that got here to India reported 15 technical snags within the ultimate 16 days.

    The rustic’s civil aviation area is “completely protected” and the entire protocols laid down by means of the Global Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) are adopted, he mentioned.

    Towards the backdrop of a spate of technical snags suffered by means of Indian airways in fresh weeks and DGCA curbing operations of SpiceJet, Kumar stressed out that there is not any wish to panic as not one of the occasions which were reported/mentioned had the possible to reason havoc.

    “The entire snags skilled are regimen and occur with all airways and all forms of fleet. Within the ultimate 16 days, even for the overseas operators who come to India, we have now noticed 15 technical snags, which were attended and rectified,” Kumar advised PTI in an interview.

    Explicit information about snags that have been confronted by means of the in a foreign country carriers weren’t disclosed.

    In line with Kumar, the snags confronted by means of the overseas operators have been very similar to that encountered by means of the Indian carriers.

    Lately, greater than a dozen cases of Indian carriers going through technical snags have grow to be public, particularly with regards to SpiceJet, and the Directorate Normal of Civil Aviation (DGCA) is conserving an in depth watch at the tendencies.

    “What maximum of them (fresh incidents of technical snags) required was once troubleshooting, substitute of a few part say windshield because of outer layer crack, faulty valve, high-pressure transfer, touchdown tools uplock, hydraulic accumulator or an engine,” Kumar mentioned.

    The similar day, SpiceJet issued a remark announcing that because of the present lean shuttle season, the airline like others had already rescheduled its flight operations and that there will probably be completely no have an effect on on its flight operations.

    Responding to reservations expressed in positive quarters that DGCA motion in opposition to SpiceJet was once now not robust sufficient, Kumar mentioned, “I’m really not right here to close down airways.
