The Airline Pilots' Association of India has raised concerns over flight safety, crew fatigue, and insurance coverage amid the West Asia conflict.
ALPA India wrote to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) seeking urgent clarity on operational issues, including the extension of Flight Duty Time Limitations (FDTL) for Boeing 787 operations.
The association flagged concerns over flights extending to 11 hours and 30 minutes with only two pilots, introducing an unacceptable level of fatigue risk.
ALPA India also sought reassurance on risk mitigation measures for flights operating in conflict-affected regions and urged the regulator to ensure war risk insurance coverage for crew and passengers.
