India's aviation regulator, DGCA, has revised Civil Aviation Requirements (CAR) to increase the daily breath analyzer test percentage for air traffic controllers, aircraft maintenance engineers, and safety-sensitive personnel from 10% to 25%. The move aims to enhance safety standards by detecting alcohol consumption among key personnel responsible for aircraft maintenance, air traffic control services, aerodrome operations, and ground handling services. Fuel cell technology-based breath-analyzer equipment will be used to conduct tests, increasing accuracy and effectiveness.
