The government directs Mumbai Airport to reduce flights and restrict business jet movements to ease congestion, causing corporate protests.

Government mandates flight reduction, limits business jet movements to ease congestion

The government directs Mumbai Airport to reduce flights and restrict business jet movements to ease congestion, causing corporate protests.

In response to growing congestion concerns, the government has issued directives to Mumbai Airport, instructing it to reduce scheduled flights and limit the movement of business jets during peak hours. This move aims to alleviate congestion issues and improve on-time departures, according to a report by the Economic Times.
The Airport Authority of India (AAI), responsible for air navigation services, has mandated the airport to decrease aircraft movement from 46 to 44 during rush hours and from 44 to 42 during non-peak hours.
The implementation of these directives is anticipated to impact approximately 40 flights, with IndiGo facing the highest cut of 18 flights, followed by the Air India group, including Vistara, which will have to reduce 17 flights, sources familiar with the matter revealed to the paper.
Simultaneously, the curfew on the operation of business jets has been extended from four hours to eight hours, sparking protests from major corporate entities such as Reliance Industries, JSW, and the Mahindra group.
Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL), operated by the Adani group, declined to comment on the matter.
The decision to curtail flights and extend the business jet curfew comes after Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia expressed concerns regarding declining on-time departure performance at the airport.
Senior air traffic controllers attribute delays primarily to overscheduling by airlines amidst a surge in air travel demand. Government officials emphasized that factors such as infrastructure availability and unscheduled movements, such as government and business aircraft, contribute to delays.
Rajesh Bali, Managing Director of the Business Aircraft Operator Association, expressed concerns about the additional restrictions on business jets, stating that it would significantly impede business aviation operations and affect Mumbai's role as the nation's commercial hub.
Airline network planners anticipate challenges in redeploying aircraft due to abrupt flight cancellations, leading to financial losses and potential compensation payouts to affected passengers.
The government's decision underscores broader challenges faced by airports nationwide due to increased air traffic post-Covid. The Bureau of Civil Aviation Security has mandated that any addition of new flights must consider the passenger-handling capacity at security checkpoints, setting standards for maximum passenger throughput per hour by X-ray machines on both domestic and international sides.

496 flights cancelled, 8,038 flights delayed in January due to fog: govt

The flight delays and cancellations in January had led to a massive uproar among the passengers and commotion at airports. 

The flight delays and cancellations in January had led to a massive uproar among the passengers and commotion at airports.&nbsp;

As many as 496 flights were cancelled and 8,038 flights were delayed due to dense fog in January, the civil aviation ministry said on Thursday.
In a written reply to Lok Sabha, Minister of State for Civil Aviation V K Singh said DGCA conducts meeting for preparedness of fog/low visibility operations for smooth flight operations with all stakeholders before commencement of the fog period and also issues instructions.
Besides, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has issued regulations mandating operators to ensure that all flight crew members should be qualified for take-off, instrument approaches and operations to the lowest CAT-I/II/III minima as applicable, the minister said.
CAT-III pertains to operating flights in low visibility conditions.
To a query on whether a large number of domestic and international flights were delayed due to dense fog in the current winter season, Singh replied in the affirmative.
"The total number of flights delayed and cancelled during January 2024 is 8,038 and 496, respectively," he said in a written reply.
According to Singh, the number of pilots trained for CAT-III operations has increased 16 per cent vis-a-vis the total as of October 2023.
As of December 2023, there were 6,191 CAT-III trained pilots, including 3,744 commanders and 2,447 co-pilots, the minister added.&nbsp;

The DGCA stated that a review of December 2023 flight data disclosed SpiceJet and Air India's failure to roster CAT II/III and low-visibility qualified pilots, breaching Civil Aviation Requirements.

Airlines, Mumbai airport slapped with ₹2.7 cr fine amid fog-induced chaos, safety lapses

The DGCA stated that a review of December 2023 flight data disclosed SpiceJet and Air India's failure to roster CAT II/III and low-visibility qualified pilots, breaching Civil Aviation Requirements.

Indian aviation regulators have levied hefty penalties totalling ₹2.7 crore on three major airlines, IndiGo, Air India, SpiceJet and Mumbai airport due to passenger inconvenience and security norm violations during recent fog-related disruptions in air travel.
IndiGo, the country's largest airline, faces a cumulative penalty of ₹1.2 crore, while Mumbai airport has been fined ₹90 lakh. Air India and SpiceJet are each subject to a penalty of ₹30 lakh. The penalties stem from the failure of these entities to comply with directives issued by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation regarding the rostering of pilots qualified for low-visibility conditions during fog.
In a statement, the DGCA explained that an analysis of flight data for December 2023 revealed that SpiceJet and Air India did not roster CAT II/III and low-visibility qualified pilots for some flights, violating relevant Civil Aviation Requirements. Show-cause notices were issued on January 2, and responses from SpiceJet and Air India were deemed unsatisfactory.
Additionally, the civil aviation ministry issued a show-cause notice to IndiGo and Mumbai International Airport following the circulation of a video depicting passengers eating on the airport's tarmac. Officials criticized both for not proactively anticipating and facilitating passengers during the situation.
The incident involved IndiGo flights 6E-2195 and 6E-2091, which were allocated remote bays instead of contact stands, depriving passengers of access to essential facilities. The DGCA highlighted that passengers being on the apron for an extended period violated safety regulations outlined in the 2007 Air Safety circular, jeopardizing the safety of passengers and aircraft.

All flights across US grounded: media reports

US media reports said on Wednesday the outage comes as a result of the failure of the FAA's Notice to Air Missions system, which alerts pilots and other personnel about airborne issues and other delays at airports across the country.

Hundreds of flights were grounded across the United States after a computer outage at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), US media reports said on Wednesday.
The outage comes as a result of the failure of the FAA's NOTAM (Notice to Air Missions) system, which alerts pilots and other personnel about airborne issues and other delays at airports across the country," Fox News reported.
The FAA said it is working to restore its Notice to Air Missions System.
"We are performing final validation checks and reloading the system now," it said, adding that operations across the National Airspace System are affected.
"We will provide frequent updates as we make progress," it said in a tweet.
While the FAA has not enforced a grounding of aircraft due to the outage, most airlines have chosen to ground their own plane due to the system's failure. The failure has so far resulted in some 400 cancelled flights across the US, Fox News reported.
