- A report on "Air Safety Oversight Score" was recently released by International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO).
- It seeks to identify if countries have effectively and consistently implemented the critical elements of a safety-oversight system.
- India has slipped below its previous ranking of 66% to 57% and is one of the 15 countries that are below the minimum target rates.
- India's score is lower than that of Myanmar, Bangladesh, Maldives, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal and even North Korea in the Asia-Pacific region.
- The only countries that rank below India are small and little known such as Papua New Guinea, Timor-Leste, Vanuatu and Samoa.
- A downgrade would mean Indian airlines won’t be able to mount new flights to the US or form alliances with US airlines.
- This can stifle Indian carriers' plans of global expansion.
