European Aviation Body Flags Safety Lapses in Air India Fleet, Triggers Compliance Review
The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has raised significant safety concerns regarding Air India's fleet. The issues were reportedly identified during ramp inspections and audits conducted by the European regulator. These findings have prompted EASA to initiate a formal compliance review of the Indian national carrier. The review will focus on maintenance procedures and adherence to international safety standards. The outcome could potentially impact Air India's flight operations within European airspace if the deficiencies are not addressed.
