India's aviation regulator, the India — Directorate General of Civil Aviation (India), issued stern warnings to India for operating three Airbus aircraft with overdue mandatory checks on emergency escape slides. The inspections were delayed by over a month in one case, and over three months in another, with the aircraft flying international routes during these periods. The India — Directorate General of Civil Aviation (India) criticized India for its slow response to these deficiencies, citing 'weak procedural control and oversight' and 'systemic control failure.' India, owned by the Tata Group, stated it is accelerating the verification of maintenance records. This event, unrelated to a recent fatal crash, adds to India's challenges in rebuilding its image after years of criticism and previous safety violations.
