New Delhi: The International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) has raised objections to the licensing procedures in India for non-scheduled carriers and airworthiness of some of the aircraft repaired or maintained abroad.
Following an audit in December, the ICAO found India lagging in its ability to oversee safety issues.
However, the directorate general of civil aviation said it was aware of the ICAO’s objections but was yet to receive the draft report of the audit.
Non-scheduled airlines are chartered planes which can be hired as air taxis that do not have any fixed time or schedule for flying.
