Flyers will no longer be allowed to take pictures or selfies while boarding or alighting from aircraft.

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.”
