NEW DELHI: Aviation regulator DGCA faces the uphill task of issuing licences to 2,000-odd Air Traffic Controllers (ATCOs) and over 60 aerodromes ahead of the audit by UN aviation body, International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), later this year, sources said. The ICAO audit, the third in last nine years, would take place in November this year and cover issues such as aerodrome operations, air traffic control, airports, and air navigation mechanism.
"As far as licensing to ATCOs is concerned, while the first stage — collecting data about the each ATC personnel — was completed long back, the second stage, which involves comprehensive health check-ups, has just began. "Licences would be issued by the DGCA to ATCOs only after this exercise gets completed," sources told PTI here.
