Civil Aviation CEO (DGCA) ordered Turkish Airlines to ensure full implementation of international and national aviation safety rules after a number of checks revealed several gaps in operations at Indian airports.
Between 29 and 2 June 2025, DGCA conducted a security and ramp (sofa/ramp) checking passenger and Turkish airlines in Delhi, Haidobad, Chen and Bengalur. The check was conducted in accordance with Article 16 of the Convention on International Civil Aviation to assess the preservation of ICAO standards and recommended practices, as well as DGCA norms.
Key conclusions that are included in the inspection:
> Competent Marshaling: At the Bengalur Airport, the Earth Marshal lacked the true resolution and the competence card, causing concern for the procedural integrity in the aircraft.
> Maintenance Protocol violation: Aircraft service engineer (AME) was absent during the arrival of the aircraft in Bengalur. Instead, the technicians carried out procedures, although Airworks is an appointed provider of engineering services for Turkish airlines.
> Supervision of dangerous piles: Sending dangerous goods did not have the necessary DGCA resolution to transport explosives over Indian airspace. The declaration lacked the necessary documentation and details.
> Earth’s passages: at Hyderabad and Bengalur Airports there was no official service agreement (SLA) between Turkish airlines and its terrestrial (GHA) agent. Earth support equipment, including ladders and graphic processors, was used without proper accountability and official transfer, especially where Globe Ground India acted without the proper transition from Celebi.
DGCA instructed the Turkish airlines to correct all the issues and present evidence of fulfillment of requirements. He also warned that the following inspections would be held to ensure constant safety standards.
The aviation regulator has once again confirmed the commitment to support the highest landmarks for all foreign carriers working in India.
Transaction Indigo-Turkish Airlines
Last week, Indigo was granted a “last and last” three -month expansion to continue working on an orange plane from Turkish airlines, against the backdrop of the government’s transition with business classes with Turkey for supporting Pakistan.
A statement last Friday said that the new aircraft operating in the rented-31 2025 rented out from the previous shutdown on May 31.
Indigo demanded a six -month expansion that was declined. “Indigo was provided by a one-time last and final expansion of the three-month-old airline’s commitments to stop wet rent with Turkish airlines during this period and not look for further expansion,” the DGCA said.
Stock up working high against Turkey in India for the supply of weapons to Pakistan. The tension between India and Pakistan grew into a four -day military confrontation after the Sindura Operation on May 7, which is aimed at dismantling nine terrorist lines along the border.
