What’ve you done for safe air travel: Bombay High Court to DGCA

The Bombay High Court asked the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Friday to list the steps being taken to check the airworthiness of all Pratt & Whitney 1100 engines that power A320neo aircraft by April 5. A division bench also said that merely grounding some aircraft or following the directive of the European Air Safety Authority against the use of P&W 1100 engines belonging to the ‘450 and beyond’ series, was not enough, the DGCA should issue a public notice to quell rumors and make citizens aware about the steps taken for safe air travel. “It is the responsibility of the Govt and the DGCA to avoid panic among people and give wide publicity and correct info about safety of airlines,” the bench said. “Are you merely relying upon the directive and certification issued by the EASA, or, have you conducted your own study to ensure that all engines, even those that have not been flagged by the EASA, are absolutely safe?” the bench asked.
