Is your airline safe? DGCA will soon find out

New Delhi: The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) is conducting a financial audit of India's airlines to ensure that they are not cutting corners on aircraft safety due to a fund crunch, news agency PTI reported on Sunday, quoting a source.

The DGCA has already conducted a financial audit of Indigo and Air India, which has been defaulting on salary payments to its employees, besides grounding a number of aircraft due to payment issues with vendors. Next in the line is Jet Airways on August 27, followed by Air Deccan and Air Odisha.

The two carriers, which together have been mandated to fly on 84 routes under the government's regional connectivity scheme, had recently cancelled a number of flights, citing shortage of pilots and technical glitch in their aircraft, the source said.
