Air India Faces 51 Safety Violations in Regulator's Audit

India's aviation regulator, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), has identified 51 safety violations at Air India during its annual audit over the past year. While these findings are not linked to the recent Air India Boeing 787 crash that resulted in 260 fatalities, they come at a time of increased scrutiny for the airline. The audit, conducted in July as part of routine checks to enhance systems, revealed seven high-level safety lapses, though specific details were not disclosed. Air India has stated its full cooperation with the audit and will submit a response detailing corrective actions to the DGCA within the required timeframe. These audits are standard practice for all airlines to ensure and improve operational processes.
