- Lok Sabha has passed the Aircraft (Amendment) Bill, 2020 which seeks to amend the Aircraft Act, 1934.
- The Act regulates the manufacture, possession, use, operation, sale, import and export of civil aircrafts and licensing of aerodromes.
- The Bill will provide statutory status to regulatory institutions like
- The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA),
- The Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) and
- The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB).
- DGCA will carry out oversight and regulatory functions with respect to matters under the Bill.
- BCAS carries out regulatory oversight functions related to civil aviation security.
- AAIB carries out investigations related to aircraft accidents and incidents.
- The statutory status to these regulatory institutions would improve India’s aviation safety ranking as suggested by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
- The Act exempted aircrafts belonging to the naval, military, or air forces of the Union.
