DGCA puts airlines on mat

New Delhi: Fog alone is not responsible for the mess at IGI airport. Apart from failing to train enough pilots to use CAT III-B instrument landing system, most domestic airlines are drawing Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) ire on other fronts. On Saturday, director-general K Gohain — who flew in from Mumbai and saw how bad things are — had a meeting with airlines to examine why passenger woes are mounting.
Gohain is learnt to have lashed out and rejected pleas of low-cost carriers that they can’t afford to provide services to delayed passengers — especially since DGCA found that many trained pilots are out of India on international sectors.
