The aviation regulator has advised airlines to encourage and increase the use of CRS by passengers, wherever feasible, travelling by air with infants or children. The safest way to secure an infant or child on board an aircraft is CRS, in a dedicated seat, appropriate for that infant or child,” the circular said. “It is not possible for a parent to physically restrain an infant or child, especially during a sudden acceleration or deceleration, unanticipated or severe turbulence, or impact. The DGCA said that proper use of restraints is one of the most basic and important factor in surviving an accident. These are similar to the restraints installed in cars (a baby car seat), which has seat belts, to provide anchors and ensure seat belt compatibility. It typically has an internal harness and belt combination, the aviation regulator further said. The DGCA further said that the operations circular, issued on February 18, will be applicable to commercial air transport.Īccording to DGCA, child restraint system (CRS) is any device, other than a seat belt, that is designed specifically to protect and restrain an infant or child during all phases of flight. It said that the advisory is based on the recommendation sent by a sub-committee after Air India Express accident in Calicut on August 7, 2020.
