DGCA Audit Flags Safety Lapses at Air India
Imagine a safety check for a big airplane company called Air India.
The people in charge of safety found almost 100 things that weren't up to scratch.
Seven of those things were super important and needed fixing right away!
These included things like how the crew were trained and how the pilots' schedules were made.
This happened after a plane crash, and now, the airline is promising to fix everything.
DGCA audit revealed nearly 100 safety lapses at Air India, including crew fatigue.
Seven Level 1 violations, indicating serious threats, were found.
Deficiencies included inadequate crew training and faulty pilot rostering.
The audit was conducted at Air India's main airport in Gurugram in July.
