The Centre’s performance on oversight of aviation safety rules has come under scrutiny and been seen as under par, according to International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO)’s global Universal Oversight Safety Audit Programme, 2017.

The ICAO audit suggests that India fails to meet the global average score of “effective implementation” on five of eight parameters. The ICAO audit judges safety oversight to implement ICAO standards based on eight parameters — legislation, organisation, licensing, operations, airworthiness, accident investigation, air navigation services and aerodromes.

India’s performance has been lower than neighbour Bangladesh when it comes to effectiveness of implementation of the ICAO standards. Bangladesh has also performed better than India on seven out of the eight parameters. Even Indonesia has performed better than India on all parameters while Malaysia has beaten India in five parameters.

The report comes days after at least 30 passengers on a Jet Airways flight from Mumbai to Jaipur suffered nose and ear bleeding after the crew "forgot" to turn on a switch that controls cabin air pressure.

The cockpit crew of the flight, which had 171 people on board, have been derostered and the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) has been directed to probe the incident.

Serious incidents and accidents are referred to the AAIB for a detailed investigation.

India has by far ths safest airliners in region.
Since 2011 not a single Indian airliner ceashed but Nepalese Pakistani and Bangladeshi airliners have crashed in same time.

The same report states that India would have scored 70 points (highest in region) but lost 14 points as Indian ATC controllers are certified by AAI and not DGCA which is against ICAO norms.
After ICAO report India passed a new rule in July to change certifying authority of ATC to DGCA.
