INDIA SCORES HIGHEST-EVER RANKING IN AVIATION SAFETY

  • With the country getting its highest-ever rank in the ICAO aviation safety rankings, Arun Kumar, chief of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, on Sunday said the challenge is to further improve the air safety ecosystem.
  • The comment also comes against the backdrop of the country’s aviation sector slowly coming back to the growth trajectory after being severely hit by the pandemic.
  • In the latest rankings by the Indian Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), India has jumped to the 48th place from the 102nd spot in 2018. The ranking, which also places it ahead of China (49), is the highest ever received by India, officials say.
  • “A robust safety oversight system certified and acknowledged by the experts is a sine qua non for flight safety and very assuring for the flying public… The DGCA team has worked tirelessly to strengthen aviation safety. We are on a peak and so the challenge is to maintain and improve further,” Mr. Arun Kumar said.
