New regulations added related to flight duty time limitations (FDTL) to manage fatigue among flight crews.
According to the reports, Civil aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) introduced the regulations on Monday. The regulations include increased rest periods, redefining night duty, restricting flight timings and number of landings during night.
Further, the regulations will come into effect from June 1, 2024, giving sufficient time for airline operations to adapt to the changes.
