Aviation Requirements (Section 10, Part I, Series B), India

The Civil Aviation Requirements (CAR) (Section 10, Part I, Series B) deals with Climate Change Initiatives and Local Air Quality Monitoring in Civil Aviation. It is recognized that airport-related sources of emissions have the ability to emit pollutants leading to degradation of air quality in the local community. As such, national and international air quality programmes and standards require airport authorities and government bodies to address air quality issues in the vicinity of airports. This CAR stipulates the general requirements, procedures and practices to be adhered to by all stakeholders/organizations that are engaged in activities that directly or indirectly impact climate change and local air quality around airports. The objective of this CAR is to manage the adverse impact of aviation activities on the atmosphere leading to sustainable growth of the industry.
