Air India flew an A320 plane eight times without valid Airworthiness licence
Tata-owned Air India operated, on multiple occasions, an aircraft that was not airworthy, potentially risking the safety of passengers.
A 164-seater Airbus A320 with an expired airworthiness licence flew eight times on November 24-25 before an engineer discovered the lapse and the plane was taken out of service, said people with knowledge of the matter. This has prompted an investigation by the regulator, Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), they said.
