Airlines flout fog-safety norms (India)
NEW DELHI: Despite DGCA asking airlines to deploy
aircrafts and cabin crew capable of flying in CAT-III B conditions, some
airlines continue to flout norms, thereby causing delays and multiple
cancellations.
The oversight was discovered by a panel set up by Prabhat
Kumar, director general of civil aviation, to make Delhi a zero-diversion
airport by next winter. Headed by joint DG, Lalit Gupta, the panel found that
airlines such as SpiceJet and Alliance Air ( a subsidy of Air India) are not CAT
III-B compliant, which allows planes to land even when visibility is as low as
75m.
