flag India enacts strict new aviation safety rules after two crashes, mandating transparency, pilot authority, and enhanced oversight.

flag India’s aviation regulator, the DGCA, has introduced stricter safety rules for non-scheduled operators following two fatal crashes within a month, including a Jharkhand air ambulance accident that killed seven. flag The new measures, part of a zero-tolerance safety policy, require public disclosure of aircraft age, maintenance history, and pilot experience, and establish a safety ranking system for operators. flag Pilots now have final authority to cancel, delay, or divert flights for safety, with no commercial penalties. flag Enhanced audits, stricter penalties—including up to five-year pilot license suspensions—and accountability for senior management aim to improve compliance. flag The first phase of safety audits ends in early March 2026.
