Airlines to pay fine if planes drop human waste during flight | india-news | Hindustan Times
Airlines will be penalised if they empty toilet tanks during flight, the green panel ordered on Tuesday.
National Green Tribunal (NGT) directed the country’s aviation regulator - Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) - to issue instructions to all airlines, whose planes are involved, to pay Rs 50,000 as environmental compensation.
The NGT bench chaired by Swatanter Kumar passed a slew of directions to be followed by airlines while hearing a plea of a retired army officer, who claimed the terrace of his house in south Delhi’s Vasant Enclave is being repeatedly spattered with excreta falling from aeroplanes.
