REWRITE THE RULE BOOK

SP’s Aviation

Issue 8, 2024

The success of the Bhartiya Vayuyan Vidheyak Bill 2024 hinges on the Ministry of Civil Aviation's ability to translate its vision into reality through efficient administration and regulation.

- ROHIT GOEL

A NEW "BHARTIYA VAYUYAN VIDHEYAK 2024" WAS INTRODUCED in the Lok Sabha by Union Civil Aviation Minister Kinjarapu Rammohan Naidu during the monsoon session of the Parliament. While presenting the Bill, the Minister highlighted that the Aircraft Act, originally established in 1934, has undergone numerous amendments over the years, often in a piecemeal manner. This patchwork of changes has led to confusion within the Act, necessitating a comprehensive overhaul. The Bhartiya Vayuyan Vidheyak aims to clear up this confusion and provide a modernised legal framework for the aviation sector.

The Aircraft Act of 1934 was a product of its time, tailored for an era when aviation was still in its infancy. It was a framework designed for propeller planes, not the jet-powered giants that dominate the skies today. Over the decades, the Act has been amended in a fragmented manner, resulting in a convoluted and often contradictory regulatory regime.
