Air India Faces Warning for Safety Lapses
Tap title to read story
India's aviation regulator, the DGCA, issued Air India a formal warning for safety violations. Three Air India Airbus planes flew despite overdue checks on emergency escape slides; one delay exceeded a month. The DGCA's spot checks in May revealed these lapses, with one incident involving an accidentally deployed slide during maintenance. An aviation expert highlighted the severity of such oversights. Air India admitted the violations and pledged to improve its maintenance records. This incident is unrelated to a recent fatal Air India Boeing 787 crash.
