India is set to establish a national aviation safety centre designed to follow global best practices in training aircraft accident investigators and aviation professionals, according to a senior government official.
Speaking at the inaugural session of the 13th Asia Pacific Accident Investigation Group meeting in India, Civil Aviation Secretary Samir Kumar Sinha revealed plans to significantly increase the number of professionals in regulatory and investigation roles. Sinha emphasized that aviation safety is a shared responsibility.
The new centre is part of India’s strategy to build world-class safety infrastructure and human capital. The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB), already involved in 25 ongoing investigations including the fatal Air India crash, will oversee operations. Globally, maintaining a qualified workforce remains a challenge for accident investigation agencies.
