Over the past few months, since air traffic went back to normalcy post lockdown period, various technical issues have affected the operations of Indian airlines. Some of these included the burning smell in the cabin and the issue with the engines. According to information provided by the Civil Aviation Ministry, Indian airlines went through 478 technical issues between July 1, 2021, to June 30, 2022. Air India was the most affected by these issues, followed by SpiceJet, IndiGo, and GoAir.
Minister of State for Civil Aviation VK Singh told the Rajya Sabha on Monday that an aircraft may experience technical issues due to the malfunction of equipment and components that are required to maintain the safety and efficiency of the flight. These issues are usually reported by the flight crew after receiving a visual or aural warning. He also stated that these issues can additionally be caused by the aircraft’s inability to operate properly or handle the aircraft.
