DGCA Issues Show Cause Notices to Air India Over Safety Lapses
Air India, a big airline, is in trouble.
The government's safety checker, DGCA, sent them warning letters because they didn't follow all the rules.
They had too few people on some long flights, like not enough helpers in the cabin.
Also, some employees didn't get the training they needed or didn't follow the right steps.
The DGCA is worried that Air India isn't being careful enough with safety, and they might take action if Air India doesn't fix these problems soon.
DGCA issued show cause notices to Air India for various lapses.
Notices are based on voluntary disclosures made by Air India.
Air India operated four ultra-long-haul flights without adequate cabin crew.
Violations include inadequate crew training and operational procedure failures.
DGCA cited concerns about safety management and operational oversight.
