We have significantly increased surveillance and spot checks. Where it used to be around 2,500 per year, DGCA is doing 4,000 spot checks a year now. After a few successive incidents, we also started doing night checks whenever we found that the aircraft was old but not maintained properly. DGCA inspected those aircraft and did not allow them to operate the next day till the time rectification was not done, said Director General of DGCA Arun Kumar .
