US FAA report on India's aviation safety likely by April 10

New Delhi:  A team of officials from the US aviation watchdog Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which is in the capital for a final assessment of India's aviation safety, is expected to submit its report by April 10.

The report could pave the way for a possible upgrade of the country's aviation safety ranking.

The FAA officials, who arrived here yesterday for a final review of the steps taken by the aviation regulator to address the deficiencies in the country's aviation safety, are expected to complete the exercise today, DGCA sources said.

On January 31 last year, the FAA had lowered India's safety ranking to Category-II from Category-I which the country had been holding since 1997.
