The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has raised safety concerns regarding operations of Air India following surprise inspections conducted at several European airports, according to a report by The Economic Times.
The inspections reportedly identified deficiencies related to safety and operational compliance, prompting closer scrutiny of the airline’s adherence to international aviation standards. While specific details of the findings have not been disclosed, the development has drawn attention to regulatory oversight of Air India’s European operations.
In response, India’s aviation regulator, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), has intervened and initiated corrective measures to address the concerns flagged by EASA.
The DGCA is understood to be working with the airline to ensure necessary remedial actions are implemented promptly, with the aim of maintaining compliance and avoiding any potential impact on Air India’s operations in Europe.
Air India has not yet issued an official statement on the matter.
