New Delhi: There is important news for those travelling by air. DGCA has issued a new order regarding air travel, under which some special people will not be able to travel by air. Major changes have been made in the rules of air travel by DGCA. Now under the new order, whether any disabled person is fit to travel by flight, it will not be decided by the airline companies, but it will be decided by the doctor.

In fact, in the new rule, the DGCA has said that whether a disabled person is fit to travel by flight, it will not be decided by the airline companies but by the doctors. If the doctor tells a passenger to be unfit, then that passenger will not be able to travel. That is, without informing the doctor, now the airline company cannot stop a passenger from travelling. There have been many such cases in which passengers were misbehaved by the airlines and they were prevented from boarding the plane. In this new order given to the airline companies by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), the regulatory of airline companies, it has been told, 'The airline will not refuse to travel on any passenger on the ground of disability. If an airline believes that the health of the passenger may be impaired by the flight, So the said passenger will have to be examined by a doctor. The doctor will give information about the medical condition of the passenger. The doctor will tell whether the passenger is fit to fly or not. The airline companies will be able to take the decision only on the advice of the doctor.

Know why this decision was taken?

This decision has been taken keeping in mind the incident when the airline company refused to board a physically challenged child at the Ranchi airport. After the truth of this incident came out, there was a lot of opposition to it. Then, showing strictness on this behaviour of Indigo, DGCA also imposed a fine of Rs 5 lakh. And then after this DGCA issued this order.
