New Delhi: Air Marshal (retd) P S
Ahluwalia, who led the investigations into two air crashes last year, today said
that the induction of inadequately trained pilots and the unavailability of
technical expertise in search operations were severely undermining India's
ability to handle the explosive growth of the industry and increasing instances
of accidents.
In an interview to The Indian Express, Ahluwalia took a strong view of the government's casual approach towards air safety and rescue operations, and called for an independent, statutory board to investigate air mishaps.
"To avoid conflict of interest and any possible external interference in probes into accidents and incidents, the exercise must be conducted by, or be under the control of, an independent safety investigation authority. This should be independent of aviation authorities responsible for airworthiness, certification and air traffic control," he said.
