The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has launched a comprehensive safety audit to provide a holistic evaluation of the aviation sector by meticulously examining safety, operational efficiency and regulatory compliance.
The aviation regulator’s new audit framework is expected to proactively identify systemic vulnerabilities, enhance resilience and ensure strict adherence to the International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) and India’s national aviation objectives.
The move to strengthen the safety infrastructure comes days after the tragic crash of London-bound Air India flight AI-171 moments after takeoff in Ahmedabad, killing 241 people on board and about 30 people on the ground on June 12, 2025.
