The country’s aviation regulator pulled up the airline for ‘weak oversight’ and violating safety protocols

In the report, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) said spot checks in May on three Air India Airbus planes found that they were operated despite mandatory inspections being overdue on the “critical emergency equipment” of escape slides.
