New Delhi: The Indian Civil Aviation Ministry has said the country has touched its highest ever rank on the ICAO aviation safety ranking list.

DGCA chief Arun Kumar in his announcement stated that the new challenge is to maintain and further improve the air safety ecosystem, reports Mint.

In the latest rankings released by the International Civil Aviation Organization   (ICAO), the country's position has jumped to the 48th spot from 102nd position in 2018.
