New Delhi: Aviation regulator DGCA today asked top officials of Indian carriers to strictly implement all safety measures stipulated in the rules and take immediate corrective steps in case any discrepancies were found.
The meeting came weeks after the US Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) downgraded India's aviation safety capabilities to Category-II from Category-I and some other nations like Singapore said they would conduct additional checks on aircraft of Indian carriers.
Following the downgrade, aviation regulators of other countries could also seek to conduct their own safety assessment of the DGCA like the FAA, the Indian carriers were told at the meeting. Singapore has already warned that it would put Indian aircraft under stricter ramp checks.
