The Consultative Committee of the Ministry of Civil Aviation met in New Delhi on Friday and discussed ‘fog planning’ ahead of the winter season.
The meeting was chaired by the Union Minister of Civil Aviation Jyotiraditya Scindia, and attended by Minister of State General (Retd) VK Singh, officers from the ministry, DGCA, Airports Authority of India and other related organisations.
Introducing the subject, Minister Scindia said that the proactive approach to his ministry, and other stakeholders has led to a significant decline in flight cancellations and flight diversions during the fog period despite an increase of 22 per cent in the number of aircraft movements in the past two years, as per a release.
