United Airlines (UA, Chicago O'Hare) and American Airlines (AA, Dallas/Fort Worth) have suspended their respective codeshare agreements with Jet Airways (Mumbai International) just hours after the US Federal Aviation Administration downgraded India to Category 2 under its International Aviation Safety Assessment (IASA) program. United justified the move on the grounds that US law forbids American airlines to coordinate with Category 2 carriers. In its assessment, the FAA said a December 2012 ICAO audit identified deficiencies in the ICAO-set global standards for the oversight of aviation safety by India’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). Subsequent inspections revealed that India’s civil aviation safety oversight regime does not currently comply with the international safety standards set by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) thereby requiring the downgrade from Category 1 to Category 2 status. "With a Category 2 rating, India’s carriers can continue existing services to the United States, but will not be allowed to establish new ones", the FAA said.
