Make Flying Safe, Raise Air Safety Standards (India)

The International Civil Aviation Organisation's (ICAO) decision to conduct another audit of India's aviation safety this year is unlikely to please various Indian airlines. This is because the audit is likely to affect their expansion plans. After an audit in 2012, ICAO had placed India among the 13 worst-performing nations. Indications are that the audit would be more elaborate this time. Ideally, India shouldn't have faced any difficulty in improving the infrastructure and manpower requirements to meet the international standards during the last three years. Unfortunately, the government did not seem to take the ICAO audit seriously for reasons which remain unexplained.
