New Delhi, Dec 12: Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu on Friday chaired a high-level review to assess airline preparedness for the upcoming winter-fog season.
The meeting brought together key stakeholders, including the DGCA, AAI, airport operators, airlines, and CISF, to ensure “full compliance, accountability, and strict SOPs for fog operations.”
Officials were instructed to focus on real-time data exchange, activation of war rooms, and deployment of CAT-II/III compliant aircraft with qualified crew.
