[New Delhi] Jet Airways Flier Drags Airline To DGCA Against Misleading Customers
A Flier has dragged the airline to aviation regulator DGCA as he sought a probe into the delay of one of its flights after accusing the airline of misleading the passengers regarding the cause behind the same.
Alleging that the airline delayed a Mumbai to Jaipur flight last week due to “non-availability” of a pilot and not for “ATC clearance” as repeatedly announced by the commander, Mehmood Abdi, a Mumbai-based corporate lawyer, has urged DGCA “to initiate inquiry into the matter and put remedial steps in place so as to prevent recurrence of such suffering to air passengers”.
A Jet Airways spokesperson confirmed that the two-hour delay faced by the May 13 flight was due to the non -availability of flight crew.
” Abdi stated in his complaint.that Passengers with kids and old (people) got restless and there was lot of commotion in the aircraft. Passengers rushed to aerobridge and sought to deplane but no responsible person (from Jet Airways) was available. It was very irresponsible on the airline’s part,

Down Graded Indian Aviation’s Regulator DGCA Now To Watch Health Of Pilots

[New Delhi]I)Down Graded Indian Aviation Regulator DGCA Now To Watch Health Of Pilots
DGCA has set a committee to look into the norms for checking pilots’ health in the wake of the recent German wings plane crash.
“There is a committee which is looking into it (the norms for assessing pilots health),” Director General of Civil Aviation M Sathiyavathy told reporters.She, however, refused to elaborate more on the issue.
“I cannot comment further,” Sathiyavathy said.The move by Directorate General of Civil Aviation comes in the wake of the recent Germanwings airline plane crash in the Alps in which it is alleged that a mentally disturbed co-pilot crashed the plane killing all 150 people onboard.
As of now, nine domestic airlines, which employ over 3,000 pilots, carry out such tests on their pilots at the point of induction but there are no subsequent appraisals of their mental state. They, however, undergo physical fitness tests every six months.
Sathiyavathy also said that the DGCA is also recertifying all flying schools and non-scheduled operators, following the restoration of India’s aviation safety rating back to the top category by the US aviation watchdog Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) early this month.
The FAA had downgraded India from Category I to Category II last January.
“For re-certification, we took up Air India and Jet Airways on a priority basis as they fly to the United States.
Then we took up Vistara, Air Pegasus and Air Costa (the two regional carriers operating out of the southern region). Other scheduled airlines are being taken up now,” DGCA said.
The re-certifcation implies that the aviation regulator is satisfied that the airlines meet all the prescribed safety and security norms.She was speaking on the sidelines of a function jointly organised by the Ministry of Civil Aviation and the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce
The function was organised to announce the dates for the 5th edition of the India Aviation international conference- exhibition in Hyderabad from March 16 next year. .
