In a move aimed at upholding aviation safety standards, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has initiated enforcement action against Air India after finding a lapse in routine aircraft maintenance. The action follows the regulator’s audit, which revealed that the inspection of an emergency slide on one of the airline’s aircraft was overdue. Union Minister of State for Civil Aviation, Murlidhar Mohol, confirmed the development on Monday through a written reply. He stated that during a recent audit of Air India’s operations, the DGCA identified the overdue inspection, prompting the regulator to step in with corrective measures.
