MANDATORY BREATH ANALYSER TESTS RESUME FOR ALL PILOTS

In view of the declining trend of Covid cases, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Wednesday issued guidelines to resume mandatory breath analyzer tests for all pilots and cabin crew.

Earlier, due to Covid-19, only six such personnel were allowed to undergo the test in one hour.

The decision has been taken in view of falling COVID-19 cases and an increase in the volume of air traffic as a result of the resumption of normal operations, said the DGCA.

The Breath Analyser Test, also known as an alcohol test, is a mandatory pre-flight and post-flight test for pilots and cabin crew.
