Aviation regulator the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) today asked all Indian carriers to strictly enforce COVID-19 protocol, including mask mandate for passengers, in aircraft amid a rise in new cases across the country.
The DGCA in an official statement said that it will be conducting "random checks" in aircraft across the country to see if the COVID-19 protocol is being enforced or not.
Airlines have to ensure that passengers are wearing face masks properly throughout the journey and there is proper sensitisation of passengers through various platforms, it mentioned.
"In case a passenger does not comply with the directions, strict action will be taken by airlines against the passenger," it added.
In June, the aviation regulator had said that those passengers who do not wear masks on the flight can be treated as “unruly”.
