NEW DELHI: Following the spate of scrapes - on the runway and mid-air - like planes overshooting airstrips and bird hits in the past few months, the aviation ministry has finally acted. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Wednesday instructed all international airports here to form "runway safety teams" by the year-end.
The team - with officials representing the airport developer, ATC, airlines and other stake holders - will meet regularly to identify loopholes that could lead to problems like communication gap between ATC and pilot and unauthorised presence of people or vehicles on runways.
