New Delhi: The proposed Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), which is to replace the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), is to not only pay market-linked salaries to its employees but is also likely to follow a hire and fire policy, senior Government officials said late Saturday.
“The CAA will be an autonomous body. It will have a different pay scale from what is followed in the Government. The Government hopes to introduce a Bill for setting up the CAA in the forthcoming Parliament session. At the moment, inter-Ministerial consultations are going on for setting up of the CAA,” Secretary Civil Aviation, K.N. Srivastava, said.
Officials were, however, tightlipped on whether a professional, or a serving or retired bureaucrat would head the new organisation.
The new aviation authority will also enjoy administrative and financial freedom so as to meet functional requirements for an effective safety and oversight system, something that the existing DGCA lacks.
