India not likely to get ‘safety concerns’ tag

New Delhi: India is set to be removed from the list of nations having significant aviation safety concerns, with an audit by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) showing that action plans were in place to address them.
After a safety audit carried out by ICAO experts, the auditors have informed aviation regulator DGCA yesterday that they would recommend India’s removal from the category of countries have “significant safety concerns“.
“The auditors have cleared us of all the ‘significant safety concerns’. They have recommended this to their (ICAO) headquarters in Montreal,” Director General of Civil Aviation Arun Mishra told PTI.
The week-long audit has shown that India has “implemented corrective action plans to address the safety concerns satisfactorily,” he said.
