The DGCA's advisory underscores the significance of routine safety measures and inspections, particularly focusing on emergency exit mechanisms. This precautionary step aims to enhance passenger safety and the overall preparedness of airlines to handle unforeseen emergencies. Airlines are expected to conduct thorough assessments of emergency exits, ensuring that the equipment is in optimal condition and that the cabin crew is well-versed in emergency evacuation procedures.
