New Delhi: Faced with persistent complaints of flight delays, aviation regulator DGCA has come up with a series of measures to ensure that airlines stick to their allotted take-off time, including a threat of not granting them the time-slots they miss in the next schedule.
In a new set of rules, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation has asked airlines to get their flight schedules approved by it at least 30 days in advance and ensure that they strictly comply with them, official sources said.
A total of 30 flights would be scheduled per hour, with five departures every ten minutes, they said, adding that at least four slots per hour would be kept to allow VIP, non- scheduled and military air operations.
