DGCA introduces rules for ground handling service providers

Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) issued rules that aim to provide safe ground handling at airports given the phenomenal growth (in) aircraft movements, a corresponding increase in complexity of ground operations and proliferation of third-party ground handling services, said an official. Among the key provisions, the rules mandate the installation of speed guns on the airside of airports and require speed governors in certain vehicles.
