Directorate General of Civil Aviation chief Arun Kumar said
Amidst the rising technical snag incident, aviation watchdog authority (Directorate General of Civil Aviation) DGCA’s chief Arun Kumar has told that the aviation sector is ‘safe. He said, saying that there was no reason to panic. According to the head of the aviation authority, the nation’s civil aviation space is “completely safe,” and all ICAO-mandated procedures are carried out. It is to be stated that recently there have been approximately 478 technical-snag incidents in the last year.
DGCA’s decision to stop SpiceJet’s operation
In light of the recent string of technical difficulties faced by Indian airlines and the DGCA’s decision to stop SpiceJet’s operations, Mr. Kumar emphasized that there is no reason to fear because none of the incidents have been issued or discussed have the potential to cause chaos.
DGCA chief also stated that all difficulties encountered are common and affect all airlines and fleet types. There have been 15 technical problems in the last 16 days, including for international operators visiting India, which have been addressed and fixed.
It was not made public what specific problems the international carriers encountered. Mr. Kumar claimed that the difficulties encountered by the overseas operators were similar to those faced by the Indian carriers. More than a dozen incidents of Indian carriers running into technical difficulties recently became public, particularly in the case of SpiceJet, and the DGCA is closely monitoring the events.
