The Delhi High Court today sought a response from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation on a plea by the Indian Pilots Guild.

The plea is seeking contempt action against authorities for allegedly not fully implementing the new flight duty time limitation norms approved by the court earlier this year.

It is alleged that airlines were granted extensions and relaxations in pilot fatigue management rules in violation of the Civil Aviation Requirement (CAR) 2024 framework.

Justice Amit Sharma issued notice to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on the Indian Pilots Guild’s contempt petition and asked it to file a response.

The court listed the matter for further hearing on April 17.
