If you often travel by air then this news is useful for you. The Indian government may soon ban carrying or using power banks in flights during air travel. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) is busy making guidelines in this regard and they can be finalized soon. Let us tell you that in the recent few days, there have been incidents of fire caused by power banks in many flights including an Indigo flight. In view of this, preparations are being made to ban power banks.

Powerbank had caught fire

On October 19, the power bank with a passenger on board an Indigo flight from Delhi to Dimapur caught fire. This incident has been taken seriously and DGCA has started deliberations in view of these incidents. At present, issues like quantity limit, ban on in-flight charging, rules for storage and visible capacity rating are being considered. There are speculations that in India too, like abroad, charging during flights may be banned. Before bringing new rules, the dependence of passengers on electronic gadgets is also being kept in mind.

Air China flight was diverted

Just a few days before the Indigo flight, an Air China flight was diverted due to a fire in the power bank. Such incidents have happened in many countries in the world, due to which many airlines have changed the rules related to power banks. Emirates Airline has banned the use of power banks during flights. Similarly, Singapore Airlines has also stopped charging through USB ports installed in the cabin. Also, passengers have been asked to keep the power bank in the seat pocket or under-seat baggage.

IndiGo fined Rs 20 lakh: The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has imposed a fine of Rs 20 lakh on the country’s largest airline IndiGo for alleged lapses in pilot training. The company said that it is considering challenging this order before the appellate authority.

This action of DGCA has come at a time when serious flaws came to light in the investigation of Indigo’s training records. The investigation revealed that the Full Flight Simulator (FFS) training of nearly 1,700 pilots, including pilots-in-command and first officers, was not certified for high-risk airports — such as Calicut, Leh and Kathmandu.

What is the whole matter?

These airports have been placed in the “high-risk category” because the weather, runway conditions and geographical conditions here are extremely challenging. For this reason, DGCA has imposed a fine of Rs 20 lakh on IndiGo and has asked the company to improve the training process.

Indigo said in its information given to the stock market on Wednesday that it received a notice regarding the fine from DGCA on September 26. According to the regulator, this penalty has been imposed for alleged failure to use suitable simulators for training of pilots at Category ‘C’ airports.

Category ‘C’ airports are those places where access and operating conditions are challenging. DGCA says that Indigo failed to follow the training standards set for these airports.

Action has already been taken

The company said there was a delay in making this information public due to delays in internal communication. However, the airline clarified that this order will not have any impact on its financial position, operations or other activities. IndiGo said that it is committed to adhering to the highest standards of safety in the operation of its aircraft.

This is not the first time that DGCA has imposed fine on IndiGo. Even in the year 2023, the regulator had imposed a fine of Rs 30 lakh on the airline. At that time, a special audit had found many shortcomings in the operations, training and engineering departments of the company.

India extends ban on pak airlines: After the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, India not only retaliated by running ‘Operation Sindoor’ and broke the back of the terrorists, but also taught a strong lesson to the neighboring country of Pakistan. India not only gave a befitting reply on the military front, but also hurt Pakistan’s economy. Now once again, India has taken counter action and has increased the ban on Pakistan Airlines in its aircraft for a month to the morning of 24 October.

Closed aircraft for Pakistan

This decision was taken on Monday in the NOTAM issued by the Indian Aviation Authorities. This step of India has come at a time when Pakistan issued a notice to keep the aircraft closure for the Indian Airlines for the same period. In this way, it has been almost six months when both countries have closed each other’s aircraft.

Ban started from 24 April

Significantly, after the Pahalgam terror attack in April, the relationship between New Delhi and Islamabad got worse. After this, Pakistan banned Indian aircraft in its aircraft, in response to which India also banned Pakistan Airlines. Since then, both countries have been increasing this ban by issuing demonetisation. However, this ban is only on the airlines of India and Pakistan, the airlines of the rest of the countries are allowed to use the aircraft of both countries.

Effect on 800 weekly flights

Around 800 weekend flights of India are being affected by Pakistan’s aerpace closure. These include flights from India to West Asia, Europe, UK and North America, which now have to go a long way. According to aviation analytics company Sirikam, only six flights of Pakistan Airlines (Lahore and Islamabad to Kuala Lumpur) used Indian aircraft.

But the situation is far more challenging for Indian airlines. Air India flights go to West Asia, Europe, North America and UK. Indigo flights operate from India to West Asia, Türkiye and Central Asia. Due to the shutdown of Pakistan’s aircraft, these airlines either have to take a long route or some flights have to be closed temporarily.
