DGCA and USTDA sign agreement for aviation safety and technical assistance

MANU/PIBU/0179/2016

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation of India and the United States Technical Development Agency signed the Grant Agreement for India Aviation Safety Technical Assistance Phase II. The Agreement is another step towards maintaining India’s Category 1 status under the International Aviation Safety Assessment. Whereas the International Civil Aviation Organisation had raised safety concerns in 2012, IASA’s 2013 audit had briefly downgraded India to Category 2. Phase II of the Agreement with USTDA is aimed at bringing improvements in operation, airworthiness and licensing.
