New Delhi: Questioning the government’s controversial move to ask private airlines to give special privileges like lounge access to MPs, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has said that the DGCA should instead focus on getting category 1 rating back.
“Instead of wasting time on ordering VIP handling for elected representatives perhaps DGCA should focus on getting our Cat 1 rating back,” Omar said on twitter.
According to reports, US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has downgraded India's aviation safety ranking. India has now been put in category II of safety ranking from category 1 that directorate general of civil aviation (DGCA) was in earlier.
The downgrade means that Indian carriers will now not be able to add flights to US. Also aircraft of Indian airlines that fly there, Air India and Jet Airways, can be held indefinitely for checks there, which will make it difficult for them to adhere to schedule
