The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has warned that lack of preparedness among airline operators in complying with guidelines issued by the regulator from time to time poses potential risks to aviation safety. 

The DGCA periodically issues operating regulations to ensure flight safety, operational efficiency and overall aviation safety through Civil Aviation Requirements (CARs), Aeronautical Information Circulars (AICs) and other notifications. Compliance with these regulations by operators is mandatory.

In a safety circular issued to all stakeholders, the DGCA stressed that proper and effective compliance with regulatory requirements could be achieved only through advance preparation.

Lack of preparedness

“It has been noticed that there is a lack of the requisite level of preparedness to ensure timely and effective implementation of regulations issued by the DGCA. This has resulted in potential risks to aviation safety and inconvenience to passengers,” the circular said.

Highlighting the importance of adequate planning, the regulator advised all stakeholders to devise a detailed implementation strategy well in advance of the effective date of any new operating regulation. The strategy should factor in both available resources and additional requirements, if any.

Airline operators and other stakeholders were directed to ensure the timely availability of all resources and verify their functionality. “Wherever necessary, functionality trials or dry runs shall be completed well ahead of implementation,” the DGCA said.

The regulator has also sought submission of implementation plans, along with data and results of dry runs, prior to the actual date of enforcement of the regulations. Stakeholders have been instructed to closely monitor the implementation of CARs, AICs and other directives for a period of six months and submit periodic reports to the DGCA.

The initiative aims to integrate services that were spread across various applications.

Indian Railways is getting ready to launch a single “super app” that would offer travellers a variety of necessary services on one easy-to-use platform. The new application will serve as an umbrella platform, bringing together all railway services in one place. It will let users purchase platform passes, book tickets, and track train timetables, among other features, which should make travelling easier.

With the goal of integrating a variety of services that were previously dispersed across several applications, the Centre for Railway Information Systems (CRIS) is working with IRCTC’s current infrastructure to construct the app. IRCTC will remain the main interface via which passengers access these services in spite of this integration. The super app’s development is still under progress.

Currently, railway passengers rely on separate platforms for various needs, such as IRCTC Rail Connect for ticketing, IRCTC eCatering Food on Track for meal orders, Rail Madad for feedback, UTS for unreserved tickets, and the National Train Enquiry System for real-time train information. The new super app seeks to centralise these services, creating a streamlined and user-friendly experience for millions of railway users.

Meanwhile, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi has also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Centre for Railway Information Systems (CRIS) to advance railway infrastructure, safety, and operational efficiency across India.

Under this MoU, IIT Delhi researchers will engage in a series of R&D projects aimed at enhancing security, safety, scheduling, intermodal connectivity, and revenue optimisation for Indian Railways. Faculty members from the Departments of Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, and Management Studies will collaborate on these initiatives, combining interdisciplinary expertise to address key challenges. This partnership is expected to make Indian Railways a safer, more efficient, and technologically advanced organisation.

By combining groundbreaking research with practical application, the partnership aims to address some of the most pressing challenges in Indian Railways.
