The Bharatiya Vayuyan Adhiniyam, 2024, replaces the outdated Aircraft Act, 1934, to modernize India's civil aviation regulations. Enacted on December 11, 2024, it provides a comprehensive legal framework for the design, manufacture, operation, and safety of aircraft, aligning with international standards. The Act establishes regulatory bodies like the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS), and Aircraft Accidents Investigation Bureau (AAIB) to oversee aviation safety, security, and accident investigations. It also grants the Central Government emergency powers to address public health risks and ensure airspace security.
This bare act contains the full text of The Bharatiya Vayuyan Adhiniyam, 2024, detailing its sections, rules, and penalties. It covers licensing, aerodrome regulations, compensation for damages, and offences related to aviation safety. The document is essential for legal professionals, aviation stakeholders, and researchers seeking authoritative reference material on India's updated aviation laws.
