The Directorate General of Civil Aviation has reinforced restrictions on “air side” photography by passengers in a new rule issued primarily to prohibit pilots from taking selfies in cockpits of airborne planes as the regulator has found the latter to be a major distraction that could affect safety.
A DGCA air safety circular issued on August 29 has asked airlines to ensure that “passengers do not indulge into photography while embarking/disembarking from aircraft.”
Also, passengers will no longer be able to request crew to let them in the cockpit to click a quick selfie while disembarking.
