The Civil Aviation Regulatory Authority (CAR) has faced several challenges throughout its evolution. These include:
Managing Increased Air Traffic: With the rapid expansion of air travel, CAR had to implement advanced air traffic management systems to handle more flights safely and efficiently.
Adapting to Technological Advances: As technology evolves, CAR had to keep pace with innovations like drones, electric aircraft, and artificial intelligence to ensure they are safely integrated into the airspace.
Environmental Sustainability: The aviation industry's growing environmental impact led CAR to focus on sustainable practices, like promoting the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF).
Global Collaboration: With international air travel increasing, CAR needed to ensure India's aviation standards align with global regulations, requiring extensive coordination with international bodies.
Workforce Training: As the aviation sector became more complex, CAR had to ensure that aviation professionals received continuous and updated training to meet new safety and technological standards.
These challenges highlight CAR's critical role in adapting to the changing landscape of aviation while maintaining safety and efficiency.
