NEW DELHI: Over the last six months, Air India has received nine show cause notices linked to five different safety violations, according to minister of state for civil aviation Murlidhar Mohol in the Rajya Sabha .
Enforcement action has been completed in one case, while investigations continue into others.
A major focus of concern is the tragic crash of Air India Flight AI171 on June 12, 2025. The flight, a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner en route to London Gatwick, crashed shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad, killing 260 people.
The aircraft went down into a medical hostel complex near the airport, leaving just one survivor out of the 241 people on board.
The director general of the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) has ordered a formal investigation under Rule 11 of the Aircraft (Investigation of Accidents & Incidents) Rules, 2017. A preliminary report, published after a month of the incident, outlines initial findings, including mid-air engine failure, cockpit confusion, and failed recovery attempts within seconds of takeoff.
Union civil aviation minister Rammohan Naidu addressed the issue on the first day of the Parliament's Monsoon Session, reaffirming the government's commitment to a thorough probe. Despite the incident, MoS Mohol mentioned that no adverse reliability trends have been found in recent reports related to the crashed aircraft.
The full investigation is ongoing to determine the root causes and contributory factors behind the deadly crash.
