Masks a must on flights and airports: DGCA #IndiaNEWS #Coronavirus
New Delhi: Airlines must de-board any passenger before departure if they refuse to wear face mask inside an aircraft. This instruction was given Wednesday by aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).
If any passenger refuses to wear mask or follow Covid1-19 protocol in a flight mid-air, the airline may bar them from flying for a certain period of time by classifying them as ‘unruly passenger’, the DGCA said in a circular.
Besides, airport operators must take help of the local police and security agencies to instruct people to wear masks. They must levy fines on people not wearing face masks in terminals, the DGCA said.
The circular followed a Delhi High Court order of June 3. It said the ‘DGCA should issue separate binding directions to all staff persons deployed at the airports and in the aircraft, including flight attendants, air hostesses, captains/pilots and others, to take strict action against passengers and others who violate the masking and hygiene norms’.
All such persons found violating the norms must be fined. Persistent defaulters must be placed on the no- fly list, the court had said.
The DGCA’s circular said airlines must ensure the passengers wear masks properly on flights. The masks can be removed from faces only ‘under exceptional circumstances and for permitted reasonp?&K?Y?H??[????YY?[?^?H?X?HX??HZ?[?H]???YH]]??Y??[???XY?X????[H??[?Y?H??Y???YLNN???X???¸?'HZ?[?H?[[???H][???H[?H??[???????Y?H?X??H[???X?[??]?[?Y???X]Y???[???H??H??[?HKX???YY??YY?K?Y??H??K8??H??H?ZY??H??H?Y?[][???]?H?????Z?[????[???[??????H??Z[??[??[YHY??^H]?H?Y[?X??Y8?&[??[x?&K???[??[[???X[?X??]H???H
