Airlines in India are likely to adopt the Safety Management System (SMS) by January 2009. According to Kanu Gohain, Director General, Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), SMS will be introduced for the airline industry in order to mitigate risk and attain optimal operational safety.
"By January 2009, all existing airlines and upcoming ones will be required to follow SMS. It will be applicable to everyone, right from the top management to all employees down the rank. DGCA is not trying to police the service provider, but to rectify the loopholes in the current safety standards in aviation," said Gohain.
