Just days after a tragic crash involving a London-bound Air India flight, the airline is again in the spotlight—this time for a spate of technical snags that have forced multiple aircraft to return mid-air or endure prolonged delays.
On June 12, Air India’s London-bound flight AI-171 crash-landed in Ahmedabad, resulting in the deaths of over 260 people, including 241 people on board and those at the residential building of a medical college. The incident sent shockwaves across the aviation sector and raised serious concerns over fleet maintenance and emergency response preparedness.
