DGCA Introduces Digital Platform for Aviation Incident Reporting
The DGCA is creating a new digital platform called eGCA to help report aviation incidents faster and more efficiently.
This platform will allow for electronic submission and processing of reports, making the whole process quicker.
The government usually lets airfares be set by market forces like supply and demand, but they can step in during special times, like big events or emergencies, to control prices and make sure there are enough flights.
This helps keep things fair and safe for everyone.
DGCA is introducing a digital platform for incident reporting to improve timeliness and efficiency.
The platform will facilitate electronic submission and processing of mandatory occurrence reports.
Airfares are influenced by factors like seat occupancy, fuel costs, and seasonal fluctuations.
The government generally avoids regulating airfares but can intervene in exceptional circumstances.
Government interventions include redistributing capacity and imposing temporary fare caps.
