Banning the airspace in Pakistan: DGCA imposes new bases for airlines on passenger service, delaying aviation

Amid the long aviation periods that led to the closure of the airspace in Pakistan, on Saturday, the airline, DGCA, issued detailed consulting lines to promote passengers communications, avoid aviation, medical preparedness, and customer service.

The General Directorate of Civil Aviation (DGCA) said that the airlines should inform the passengers in a proactive manner of the revised guidance, the times of the extended bloc, and the possibility of technical stopping in medium airports. The move comes after Pakistan’s decision to ban Indian Airlines to use airspace after the rising between the two countries in the wake of the Paalgam terrorist attack, which killed 26 people.

The organizer said that international and regional flights, especially those that operate from Delhi and other northern cities, have been greatly redirected, which led to the times of a longer flight and an unlikely stop for operational purposes or refueling.

In light of these developments, DGCA issued a circular entitled Termile measures in light of the airspace restrictions, which led to extended flight periods and technical stops, and determining mandatory work points for all airlines operators:

1.

Airlines must:

• The passengers reported the guidance changes due to the airspace restrictions.

• Delivery of the expected total travel (departure to access).

• Pass the passengers at any potential technical stations and clarify that such stations are working in nature, while the passengers generally remain on the plane.

• Delivered this information in a check -in, and climbing gates, and wherever possible, through SMS and email alerts.

2.

The operators must:

• Repief Catering Uplift based on the expected actual ban time, including technical stops.

• Ensure enough meals, drinks, additional hydration, dry snacks, and any special meals for all applications.

3. Medical readiness and alternative aviation

Airlines is required for:

• Ensuring sufficient medical groups and first aid resources on the extended operations.

• Checking the health that alternative airports have medical support in emergencies and the availability of ground aid.

• A brief compartment crew around fatigue, discomfort or medical accidents during long trips.

4. Customer service and support preparation

You must:

• Carry the call center and reservations teams on possible delays and scheduling the disorders.

• Create super -communications management operations and provide assistance to affected travelers.

• Prepare compensatory action plans for delay that exceeds the boundaries of the threshold, according to CAR (Civil Aviation requirements).

5. Coordination inside the slide

The operators must ensure a smooth format between:

• Send the trip/iOCC,

• Commercial customer support teams,

• Earth handling and airport operations,

• Service suppliers on board,

• Medical sellers at specific alternative airports.

DGCA confirmed that all operators must deal with this consultant as mandatory guidance in the interest of passenger safety, comfort and organizational compliance. Not to comply with or disturb passengers caused by the failure to implement these measures may attract enforcement procedures within the framework of the applicable civil aviation regulations.

The circular cycle comes in an immediate effect and will remain valid until further notice.

Meanwhile, the airlines have already been disrupted by airlines, such as Nile, to announce major changes. Indigo stated that about 50 international flights will work on longer roads, and flights have been canceled to Almaty and Tashkent from April 27 to May 7 due to domain restrictions on current fleet planes.
