A
total of 18 emergency landings were reported by various airlines in
India during the last two years, the Civil Aviation ministry told the
Lok Sabha on Thursday.
Recently on July 2, a plane
operating from Delhi to Jabalpur was forced to return after the crew
noticed smoke in the cabin while passing at 5000 ft. No untoward
incident was reported and the passengers disembarked safely after
emergency landing.
Similarly, a Calicut-Dubai flight was diverted
to Muscat and made an emergency landing on July 16 after a burning
smell was observed in the cabin mid-air.
Aviation regulator the
Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) issued the Air Operator
Permit (AOP) to the airline on compliance with laid down Civil Aviation
Requirements (CARs) which require the airline to have their own
maintenance organisation approved or have arrangement with an approved
maintenance organisation for maintaining their aircraft in a continuous
state of airworthiness.
The responsibility for the maintenance
of the aircraft lies with the airline which is required to ensure that
aircraft is maintained as per the maintenance programme prepared based
on instruction of the manufacturer and approved by DGCA.
Airline/operators
are also responsible for ensuring that the required qualified and
experienced manpower, equipment and spares including maintenance data is
available for maintaining the aircraft, said the Aviation ministry in a
reply in the Lower House.
DGCA ensures that the airline and the
maintenance organisation continue to comply with the regulatory
requirements against which they have been initially approved through a
system of surveillance, audits, spot checks, night surveillance etc. and
in case of the non-compliances, DGCA ensures that rectification is
taken by the airlines/ maintenance organisation.
DGCA initiates
enforcement actions against organisation, personnel in case violations
are found which may include warning, suspension, or cancellation of
approval, authorisation, permit or license including imposition of
financial penalty.
