New Delhi: In a bid to enhance efficiency, DGCA would consult chiefs of all Indian carriers later this week for suggestions on a range of operational issues, including granting and renewal of pilots licences and route checks.
The meeting would be part of the aviation regulator's efforts to amend or even do away with some rules or practices which affected airline operations.
Consultations would also be held with private non- scheduled operators and general aviation business officials later in this regard, official sources said.
Airlines have been complaining to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on issues like frequency of medical and proficiency checks of pilots, saying the cockpit crew have to be taken off duty for a significant period to fulfil these legal requirements and it affects airline operations.
