The aviation regulator DGCA said on Tuesday that airlines must ensure that 50% of cockpit and cabin crew members are submitted to daily pre-flight alcohol tests.
"In the case of flying training institutes, 50% of instructors and 40% of student pilots will be exposed to pre-flight breath-analyser on a daily basis," the Directorate General of Civil Aviation noted in a notification (DGCA).
The warning was issued “in light of a decreasing trend of COVID-19 cases and an increase in air traffic volume as a result of the restoration of regular operations,” according to the notice.

The country resumed full scheduled domestic flights on October 18, 2021.
