In March, India's DGCA reprimanded Air India Express for delaying mandated replacement of certain CFM LEAP‑1A engine parts on an Airbus A320, as required by a 2023 EASA safety directive, and for allegedly forging maintenance records in its AMOS system to feign compliance. The issue, first flagged in October 2024, involved aircraft VT‑ATD and occurred well before Air India’s June Dreamliner crash in Ahmedabad . The airline acknowledged the oversight, blamed software migration errors, suspended key staff, and completed corrective actions. This incident compounds Tata‑owned Air India’s ongoing safety scrutiny. (PC: India Today)
