Bhusan's exit as DGCA: Capa says India's global image will take a beating

The summary sacking of director general of civil aviation (DGCA) Bharat Bhushan without providing any reason will have a negative impact on the country's international image at a time when global sentiment on the India story, particularly on governance issues, is already declining, according to civil aviation think tank Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation (Capa).
Bhushan has now been shunted out of the civil aviation ministry and posted as additional secretary in the steel ministry. According to a Capa statement issued on Friday, "The timing and manner of his removal with no reason offered is extremely unfortunate... and is reflective of a poor overall approach to managing the civil aviation sector." Capa has in the past been critical of some DGCA actions particularly the manner in which the findings of an audit report about safety issues were played out in the media in January.
