Air India Operated Aircraft Without Valid Certificate

Air India Operated Aircraft Without Valid Certificate

Air India made a big mistake by flying an airplane for two days without the right safety papers.

These papers, called Airworthiness Review Certificates (ARC), make sure the airplane is safe to fly.

The airplane, an Airbus A320, flew eight times without the correct papers.

Air India has suspended eight workers and is investigating what went wrong.

The government's aviation agency, the DGCA, is also looking into the mistake and might fine Air India.

This happened after another Air India plane crashed in June, killing many people.

Experts say this is a serious mistake that could have put passengers in danger.
