With shortage of air safety regulators posing a challenge, India today proposed pooling of this expert manpower for South Asian region and creating a quality panel to be made available to all the eight countries.
The proposal on sharing of the specialised manpower was made at an aviation safety meeting here even as Union Civil Aviation Minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju underscored the need for making sky safer for aviation.
At the 24th Steering committee Meeting of Co-operative Development of Operational Safety and Continuing Airworthiness (COSCAP)programme for South Asia, Civil Aviation Secretary R N Choubey asked countries to take advantage of GPS-Aided Geo Augmented Navigation (GAGAN) system developed by India.
“The manpower that we get is the same that is available to the private sector…(So) the challenge (before us) is how to recruit and retain the manpower. Even if we are not able to have people directly on our payrolls, can we think of preparing a panel of safety regulators which is available to all the countries in this region,” Choubey said.
