The Indian Pilots Federation (FIP) writes to Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking the creation of an autonomous Civil Aviation Authority. The federation says the move is intended to strengthen aviation oversight and regulation.
FIP argues that the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) should have greater financial, administrative, and technical independence. The federation’s position reflects a broader call from parts of the aviation sector for governance and regulatory structures that can operate with more autonomy and resources. NDTV reports the federation’s appeal as part of an ongoing debate about how civil aviation should be regulated and managed in India.
While the report focuses on the federation’s request, it does not cite a direct response from the government or a detailed comparison with the existing regulatory framework. Other perspectives are not included in the provided material, so the differing angles in coverage cannot be assessed beyond FIP’s rationale for autonomy.
