The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) issued a strong warning to airline operators on the risks caused by poor readiness in following its safety rules. The DGCA regularly releases guidelines through Civil Aviation Requirements (CARs), Aeronautical Information Circulars (AICs) and other notices to keep flights safe and efficient. Operators must follow these rules fully. In a safety circular, the DGCA said, "It has been noticed that there is a lack of the requisite level of preparedness to ensure timely and effective implementation of regulations issued by the DGCA. This has resulted in potential risks to aviation safety and inconvenience to passengers." It advised airlines and involved parties to create detailed plans well before new rules come into force. These plans should check current resources and identify any extra needs. The DGCA stressed the need for "functionality trials or dry runs... well ahead of implementation." Airlines must also send their implementation plans and trial results before the new rules start. For six months after enforcement, all stakeholders must watch the implementation closely and send regular reports to the DGCA. This move aims to boost safety and avoid delays or problems for passengers.
