Modernizing India's Aviation Laws: Bhartiya Vayuyan Vidheyak, 2024

Parliament has passed the Bhartiya Vayuyan Vidheyak 2024, which replaces the old Aircraft Act of 1934.

This new bill aims to make flying safer and help airlines operate more easily. Violations like flying without proper licenses or endangering safety will attract higher fines and stricter actions

Civil Aviation Minister K Rammohan Naidu, advocates for the bill to modernize India's aviation sector and enhance safety and investment, while critics fear it might dominate the market and could make flying more expensive for passengers.

The government is also working on programs like Udaan to make air travel cheaper and more accessible for everyone.
