The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on December 23 transferred Ravinder Jamwal, head of the Flight Standards Directorate (FSD) overseeing FDTL norms, to the Air Navigation Services section, replacing him with Ashish Dubey. This move, reported December 27, precedes a four-member panel’s confidential report—submitted December 26 and formed December 5 under Joint DG Sanjay K. Bramhane—into IndiGo’s late November meltdown, which axed over 4,200 flights by December 9 due to crew shortages and FDTL lapses. From India’s strategic lens, the reshuffle signals robust regulatory resolve to avert aviation vulnerabilities that could cascade into national security risks during peak operations, bolstering oversight amid rising air traffic demands.
