India safest country in terms of civil aviation, claims Vayalar Ravi

Civil Aviation Minister Vayalar Ravi on Friday said that India is considered to be one of the safest countries in terms of civil aviation.
Speaking during the inaugural of the Centenary Celebrations of Civil Aviation in India, Ravi said: " Today India is considered to be one of the safest countries in terms of civil aviation. Recently, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of America even cited India as a role model in the Asia-Pacific region.
In order to retain this position and to assure all travelers the guarantee of safety, the minister said: "It would be necessary to redefine the parameters of regulation.
