Jet Rules for Polls

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation today (DGCA) has set out dos and don’ts for business jet operators who intend to fly VIPs for campaigning and  has warned them and their pilots of penal action if safety guidelines were not adhered to. The guidelines direct the operators and flight crew to ensure that no unauthorised cash, narcotics or arms are carried on planes. The rules also include submission of passenger details to the aviation regulator a week in advance. A special cell in the DGCA will monitor flights of non-scheduled charter operators
