India bans flight photography
India’s Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has banned photography in aircraft. Failure to stop photography on the flight will result in penalties for the airlines concerned. In that case, flights on that route may be banned for two weeks.
For so long, the rules on flight photography have been limited to books, but now they will be strictly enforced. The law will come into force under the 1937 Aircraft Act. Simple Flying News.
On September 9, an Indigo flight was en route from Chandigarh to Mumbai.
Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut was on the plane. Journalists questioned him on various personal issues. They also break the law when it comes to taking photos. Even in Corona, hygiene was not observed at that time. This disrupts the normal environment of the flight. DGCA has faced negative criticism from passengers over the issue.
The law says no one can take photos on a plane without government approval. Photos can be taken only if DGCA gives permission. In this case, a written application has to be informed in advance to the concerned department. The main purpose of this law is that no one can take pictures on the flight without the official approval of the DGCA. Although year after year this law was limited to just books.
The DGCA said in a statement on Saturday night that everyone was being warned not to take pictures on the flight. While these restrictions are not related to security, they are strictly enforced to prevent indifference to compliance. Airlines must obey the law. If not, he will have to face punishment. Passengers who break the rules must be punished.
The law has been tightened so that no one can take unwanted pictures of a passenger. The flight attendants have to be very careful in this regard.
As a punishment for the offending passengers, they will be included in the ‘No Fly’ list. For this, the passengers also have to follow the instructions of the flight crew.
