    Safety violations
  • Aviation regulator DGCA revealed that a total of 275 "enforcement actions" in response to safety violations were taken in all of 2015.

    The substantial increase of such actions in 2016 was alarming and would now result in increased surveillance.

    Earlier this week, licenses of 2 Air India and Jet Airways pilots were suspended for 4 years for being drunk while flying.

    Enforcement Actions

    Enforcement Actions
  • A first time violator is usually let-off with just a warning from the regulator.

    A second time violation however results in 'de-rostering' from flying for a specific time period as decided by the DGCA.

    In the event of repeated violations, suspension is the norm however gravity of violations is also a determinant for punitive action.

  • Information

    Highest violations in 2014

  • The highest number of violations were in 2014: DGCA took 391 enforcement actions which included a massive 205 suspensions, de-rostering of 71 airline crew and 115 warnings. The rise in violations was due to the general elections of 2014 as chartered planes were used extensively.

    Security a farce?
