DGCA needs more teeth: Ajit Singh

Chennai: The director general of civil aviation is "clearly short of control" and has to be provided more regulatory powers, said civil aviation minister Ajit Singh. He was speaking at the passing out parade of the first batch of assistant sub-inspectors of the Central Industrial Security Force at the Regional Training Centre, Arakkonam.
He said the removal of Bharat Bhushan as the DGCA was a "purely administrative action", which has nothing to do with his stand on Kingfisher Airlines.
He said the DGCA had in fact recommended replacing Bharat Bhushan and the transfer took place now because he was holding an additional post which the DGCA found on appraisal.
