EASA Inspections Reveal Safety Lapses Aboard Air India Aircraft

The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has identified several safety lapses on Air India aircraft during recent surprise inspections. These ramp checks, part of the Safety Assessment of Foreign Aircraft (SAFA) program, uncovered issues such as a pilot's seat in poor condition and a missing emergency torch. The findings have prompted India's aviation regulator, the DGCA, to increase its own surveillance on Indian carriers. These non-compliances were noted during routine checks conducted at various European airports. Air India has reportedly taken corrective actions following the EASA reports.
