DGCA is under fire for Air India safety lapses after recent crashes and inspections, amid ongoing fleet and pilot oversight issues.
Indian aviation authorities are investigating multiple safety incidents involving Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliners, including an unexpected deployment of the Ram Air Turbine (RAT) during a flight from Amritsar to Birmingham on October 4, 2025. This follows a June crash in Ahmedabad linked to fuel cutoff switches. Boeing has been asked for detailed reports amid growing pilot and regulator concerns.
