Indian Pilots Could Soon Be Banned on Wearing Perfume

Indian Pilots Could Soon Be Banned on Wearing Perfume

According to new regulations being reviewed by the nation’s civil aviation regulator, perfume could soon be banned for pilots throughout India.

The prospective ban on perfume is being considered because many fragrances include alcohol, which could generate a false-positive breathalyzer test result. This is not because perfume could distract pilots or even give them headaches.

Air India Modifies In-Flight Alcohol Service Policy(Opens in a new browser tab)

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation intends to add a provision to the current safety regulations that prohibits crew members from consuming any alcoholic beverage, including mouthwash, tooth gel, and perfume.

Pilots and cabin staff are routinely subjected to pre-flight breathalyzer tests, which are among the most stringent alcohol regulations for aircrew in the world. An instant three-month license suspension is possible for even the smallest amount of alcohol, which is seen as a favorable result.

The proposed perfume ban is intended to address the possibility of falsely positive breathalyser results and guarantee the greatest level of aviation safety. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation seeks to avoid any compromise to the sobriety standards necessary for pilots and crew members by forbidding the use of items that contain alcohol. This action is in line with their dedication to following strict laws and the highest standards of safety in the aviation sector.
