Paragliding pilots for capping per day flights

Even as a majority of the commercial pilots suspended tandem paragliding flights at Bir-Billing on Thursday, they also pushed for operating under a single body along with limiting the number of flights for a pilot per day.

The majority of commercial pilots also remained off work on Friday. They intend to work under a single union and limit each pilot to a maximum of two flights per day to enhance safety. Most of the commercial paragliding pilots at Bir-Billing are associated with Billing Paragliding Association (BPA) and the Paragliding Pilots Union. Nearly a dozen registered operators are also at Bir-Billing.
