Aviation regulator DGCA is reviewing the replies by airlines on the safety lapses pointed out by it in a financial audit and would be meeting top officials of the air carriers shortly, sources said on Thursday. 

Weeks after several safety lapses were pointed out by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) after a financial surveillance, the Indian carriers claimed they were complying with all safety regulations for their flight operations. 

The DGCA would hold a meeting "shortly" to tell airline representatives whether their plans to comply with all instructions and rules, as pointed out by the regulator following the audit, were practicable and feasible as per a PTI report. 

The audit found a long list of discrepancies and violations by the cash-strapped airlines due to widespread sickness in the sector which was seriously impacting safety of flight operations.
