Airlines in India recommend MEDA

New Delhi: In keeping with the growing need to ensure adequate safety standards for airlines in India, the Aviation Safety Week organised by the Directorate General Civil Aviation (DGCA) and Airports Authority of India (AAI) from December 10 to December 14, 2007, held a seminar on Maintenance Error Decision Aid (MEDA) system. Major airlines in the country have already adopted the MEDA system, which helps identify human errors and reduce safety risks in airline operations.
At the seminar, airlines like Jet Airways, Kingfisher and Air India spoke about the importance of incorporating effective safety measures. Unlike the traditional investigation efforts, wherein the focus is on identifying the erring employee, the MEDA system aims to determine the factors that contribute to the errors committed by maintenance technicians and inspectors, and take corrective actions to avoid or reduce the likelihood of similar slips in the future.
