<h1>Parliamentary committee finds systemic breaches in air traffic controller duty limits, urges enforceable fatigue risk management and automation upgrades</h1> A parliamentary committee found systemic breaches of mandated watch-duty time limits for air traffic controllers, describing a 'normalisation of deviance' driven by chronic staffing shortages and routine use of exemptions that elevate safety risk. The panel urged the civil aviation ministry to require the national airports authority, in consultation with the national regulator, to implement a scientifically based Fatigue Risk Management System aligned with international best practices, with enforceable limits on work hours, rest and rostering; to cease routine exemptions; to modernize ATC automation including AI tools; to add expert ATC representation in governance; and to strengthen flight-crew fatigue and mental-health measures.
