Aviation watchdog DGCA has said that it has come across over 6,000 violations related to compliance by aviation companies last year. Commenting on the issue, Minister of State for Civil Aviation Jayant Sinha told the media, “Another 233 such violations were detected during the random survey (surprise checks) by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) as part of its annual surveillance programme.”
"During 2016, violations observed under planned and non- planned surveillance by DGCA were 6,310 and 233 respectively," he said. As part of its aviation safety mechanism, DGCA conducts frequent surveillance checks on airlines, non-scheduled operators as well as airport and Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) operators to ensure that the standard demonstrated at the time of issuance of aviation documents such as approval certificate, license, rating, among others is maintained on a continuous basis.
