“DGCA shall also issue directions that aircraft on landing shall be subjected to surprise inspection to see that human waste tanks are not empty,” the bench stated, according to a report in PTI.
India’s aviation ministry has, however, contested the Delhi petitioner’s claim and said that airlines store waste in special tanks that are usually cleared by the ground staff post landing.

“Flights know where to drop the waste. They typically look at virgin territories like forests and oceans. Because every kilo the aircraft sheds is less fuel burned,” says a top aviation consultant.
