Mumbai: Indian carriers flying to Singapore are subject to more stringent inspections following US Federal Aviation Administration's decision to downgrade India's safety ranking. However there are no restrictionns imposed on Indian carriers, the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore has said.
At present Air India, IndiGo and Jet Airways operate flights to Singapore.
“CAAS has in place a Foreign Operators’ Surveillance Programme (FOSP) for the authorisation of foreign carriers to operate in Singapore and for the surveillance of such operations. CAAS evaluates an application for an operations permit using a risk-based methodology, taking into consideration factors such as the safety oversight capability of the State of Operator, the operational capability of the carrier, and the safety records of the aircraft and aircraft type to be deployed for the operations,'' Singapore CAAS said outlining its safety oversight process.
