New Delhi: Ahead of ICAO's crucial audit of domestic aviation sector, the government has notified the regulatory framework for making the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) an independent body.
The International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), part of the United Nations, would be carrying out its audit in the last week of November.
The audit, the third in last nine years, would cover a host of aspects including aircraft investigation mechanism, aerodrome operations, air traffic control and air navigation.
A senior Civil Aviation Ministry official said norms have been notified for making AAIB an independent body. As many as 21 positions, including that of Director General, have also been notified.
The ministry is framing the recruitment rules for the posts, which would be permanent ones. Since it would take time to get people with required expertise, initially some posts would be filled up on deputation basis, the official added.
Currently, AAIB is under aviation regulator DGCA.
