The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has identified around 100 violations during an audit of Tata Group-owned Air India, raising critical concerns about the airline's safety standards.
Among these violations, seven are classified as Level-1 infractions, necessitating immediate corrective measures to address serious safety risks. Air India is responding to these findings and remains committed to passenger safety.
The audit, conducted in July at Air India's main base in Gurugram, comes after a tragic crash on June 12, which has put the airline under heightened scrutiny. Air India is set to submit a detailed response to the DGCA, outlining corrective actions taken.
