New Delhi: Aviation regulator DGCA has issued a stern warning to airlines that they would be stopped from operating in and out of Delhi during foggy season if they do not deploy pilots trained to fly under such conditions.
Insisting on deployment of pilots trained in Category-III Instrument Landing System (CAT-III ILS), the Directorate General of Civil Aviation has made it clear that only trained crew would be allowed to operate flights in and out of the national capital in case CAT-III weather predictions are made by the MeT department, official sources said.
"Failing to do so, such operations of defaulting airlines will be stopped to and from Delhi during low visibility conditions," a source said, adding it was the responsibility of the airlines to get the latest weather updates and ensure that CAT-III trained cockpit crew are deployed.
