Flight New Service: Gradually the cold is increasing. In the coming days, fog will also cover the sky. Due to fog, flights and trains often face a lot of difficulties. Due to fog, flights are often delayed for hours. In such a situation, passengers have to face a lot of inconvenience, but now the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), working under the central government, has found a solution to this. Now the airlines will have to provide food and snacks to their passengers in case of flight delay.
DGCA gave instructions to all airlines
Due to late flights, passengers often have to stay hungry. In view of this, DGCA instructed all airlines that if there is a delay of up to 2 hours, passengers will be given drinking water in the airlines. At the same time, if there is a delay of 2 to 4 hours, passengers will be given tea, coffee and breakfast. Apart from this, if the flight is delayed for more than 4 hours, food will also be provided to the passengers. The information about this decision of DGCA was given by the Union Civil Aviation Ministry by posting it on X on Friday.
In pursuance to Para 3.8.1(a) of CAR Section 3, Series M Part IV issued by DGCA, Airlines have been advised to provide facilities to passengers during flight delays. These measures are designed to prioritize passenger convenience during unforeseen disruptions.

Passengers can now disembark from the plane on late flights
The Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) has solved another problem of passengers on late flights. Actually, passengers are not allowed to disembark from the plane on late flights, due to which passengers had to sit in one place for several hours, but now passengers can disembark from the plane and go to the airport during late flights. When the flight is ready to take off, then the passengers can board the flight again.
