Bureau of Civil Aviation Security, Directorate General of Civil Aviation to assess aviation training standards of domestic carriers

New Delhi: The Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) and Directorate General of Civil Aviation is set to assess aviation training standards of domestic carriers in the wake of rising air incidents in the country.

The DGCA, earlier this month, said they have detected 422 air safety violations in 2016 against 275 in 2015. SpiceJet reported the highest number of suspensions in 2016, followed by Jet Airways with 53. Forty-one IndiGo pilots and crew members faced suspensions for air safety violations.

BCAS, India’s regulator for civil aviation security, this month had suspended the licence of Budget carrier IndiGo's aviation security training facility for alleged lapses in the examination system conducted by it. It, however, revoked orders for suspension on February 10.
