DGCA discovers safety defects at major Indian airports
India's aviation regulator, the DGCA, raised some serious safety concerns at Mumbai and Delhi airports following a deadly Air India crash in Ahmedabad.
Inspectors found issues such as faded runway markings, non-unidirectional taxiways, and faulty green lights on the runways.
There was even a flight delayed because its tires were too worn out and had to be swapped before takeoff.
TL;DR
DGCA orders immediate fixes to bring everything up to standards
The DGCA isn't wasting time—they've ordered immediate fixes to bring everything up to international standards.
Airports have been told to repaint runways, fix lighting, and step up regular maintenance.
More inspections are coming soon to make sure these changes actually happen and flying stays safe for everyone.
