New Delhi: There is no switch or system available in aircraft to dispose the lavatory waste during flight and it can only be dispensed off on ground during its servicing, the government said today.
Minister of State for Civil Aviation Jayant Sinha informed Rajya Sabha that the government has taken note of the menace of human waste excreta being splattered on houses/residences/ colonies near airports by aircraft while landing across the country.
National Green Tribunal, in a ruling last year, had slapped a fine of Rs 50,000 on the airline, as environmental compensation, whose aircraft emptied toilet tanks on air.
"There is no switch or system available in the aircraft to dispose the lavatory waste in flight. the lavatory waste can only be dispensed off on ground during its servicing. Further the aircraft system has three levels of in-built external protection to prevent inadvertent disposal of the soil waste during the flight," Sinha said in his written reply in Rajya Sabha.
