Under Section 8 of the Bharatiya Vayuyan Adhiniyam, 2024, the superintendence of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security, and the Aircraft Accidents Investigation Bureau vests in: 

Section 8 of the Bharatiya Vayuyan Adhiniyam, 2024 provides that the superintendence of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security, and the Aircraft Accidents Investigation Bureau shall vest in the Central Government, which has the power to issue directions to each of these organisations on any matters falling under the respective functional provisions of Sections 3, 5, and 7, if it considers this necessary or expedient in the public interest. This overarching superintendence power establishes a clear hierarchical accountability structure, ensuring that while the three specialised bodies exercise day-to-day regulatory, security, and investigative functions independently through their respective Director Generals, ultimate policy control and oversight rests with the Central Government, preserving democratic accountability over technical aviation regulation.
