“This will be in the nature of a Citizens’ Charter and bring about greater transparency in its (DGCA) working,” it added.
The civil aviation regulators have also been asked to create a portal on its web-site, informing public about travel related issues and advisories, availability of special assistance and facilities to be provided by airlines and airport operators, along with provisions to lodge complaints for redressal.
“DGCA shall observe Janmitra Diwas every Friday from 2 to 5 pm when any member of public can approach its officials without prior appointment,” the release added.
