New Delhi, March 28: The Directorate General of Civil Aviation issues guidelines for aircraft operators flying VVIPs, including Chief Ministers, Union Ministers and Governors, to enhance safety during such operations.
The #DGCA said the guidelines are applicable to non-scheduled aircraft and helicopter operators carrying VVIPs, in view of concerns arising from past accidents and incidents during such operations.
DGCA said, analysis of past incidents during aircraft operations to and from airstrips and temporary helipads, particularly during election-related flying, has often revealed violations of laid-down procedures, compromising safety.
It emphasised strict adherence to operational protocols, especially in challenging conditions such as temporary helipads and remote airstrips, and called for better coordination among operators, crew and local authorities to ensure safe VVIP movement.
