NEW DELHI: The executive has ordered the aviation regulator to arrange a “complete protection audit plan” of all the aviation area inside a month and then get started the security audit as soon as the plan is able.
Aviation minister Suresh Prabhu issued this directive on Thursday afternoon, hours after a Jet Airways cabin pressurisation issue caused reportedly because of pilot error left 30 passengers bleeding from the ear and nostril.
“In view of the incidents reported related to the security of the passengers, Suresh Prabhu has directed involved officials to arrange a complete protection audit plan which comes to overview of protection parameters of all scheduled airlines, airports, flying training faculties and MROs (companies doing upkeep, repair and overhaul of aircraft) straight away. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has been requested to do it. The minister has further directed that protection audit must be commenced forthwith and a report to this effect must be submitted for his perusal inside 30 days. He said that corrective action must be taken straight away on the deficiencies found out, if any, throughout such audit,” Prabhu’s place of business said.
About Thursday’s Jet incident, Prabhu has ordered a probe into it through the aircraft coincidence investigation board.
On August 12, DGCA chief B S Bhullar had said that a financial audit of IndiGo and Air India were finished and that different airlines, together with Jet, will even see the same audit. The result of the ones audits have not been made public. Given mounting running costs — falling rupee and pricier jet gas — the speculation of those audits is to make certain that airlines don't compromise on protection, upkeep and coaching because of fund crunch.
Airlines in India face a in particular opposed atmosphere because of excessively prime taxes on aviation turbine gas (ATF). In fact, ATF prices for domestic flights in India are a number of the perfect on this planet. On top of that, India’s airport infrastructure didn't see any augmentation in fresh past even though the country used to be the arena’s quickest rising domestic air commute marketplace. As a outcome, severe congestion — learn soaring executed through burning super-expensive ATF — is again with a vengeance in choked airports of mega hubs like Delhi and Mumbai.
The aviation ministry has been trying to reason with finance ministry to decrease taxes on ATF however the former has not been a hit so far.
