The curbs have now been lifted by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA)<\/a><\/strong> after a court modified an order issued in May 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the latest changes, all flight and cabin crew members will be subjected to the breath analyzer test, effective October 15, as mandated by the DGCA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to the reduction in coronavirus cases and the growth in air traffic, as well as the exemption granted by the court, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) concluded that the aviation personnel breathing test related to Civil Aviation Requirements (CAR) was restored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a precaution, the regulator stated that the breath analyzer test, if possible, should be performed in a larger and open area that is under CCTV monitoring or a camera. Eligible doctors, paramedics, and nurses, among others, should first check the person for signs of coronavirus infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
