ICAO RAISED RED FLAGS AGAINST INDIAN AIRPORTS
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) had recently raised some red flags against Indian airports' security and inadequate infrastructure following an audit of Chennai airport and Bureau of Civil Aviation Security. Alongside, some 94 AAI-operated airports, too have reported losses. Could you tell us about the initiatives that the ministry is taking to ensure a turnaround?
ICAO conducted a safety audit of India in November 2015 and November 2017 wherein the Effective Implementation (El) was 57-44. Based on the recent audit conducted by ICAO in November, 2018 covering areas of Legislation, Organisation, Air Navigation Services, Aerodromes and Accident Investigation, the El has raised to approximately 73.6%.
In July 2018, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) conducted an IASA audit of DGCA to see India's continued adherence to the standards of the Chicago Convention and its Annexes for civil aviation safety oversight followed by final consultations in November 2018 and has confirmed that India meets relevant requirements for aviation safety oversight. FAA has appreciated the commitment of India in ensuring effective safety oversight regarding India's aviation system and has
maintained India's safety ratings as Category-I.
With regards to security, ICAO Audit of India was conducted from March 07-15, 2018. As per the observations received from ICAO, the Corrective Action Plan (CAP) was sent to them. The CAP has been reviewed by the Aviation Security Audit Section and was found to be satisfactory.
