Staff shortages at India's aviation regulator and air traffic control threaten safety
August 2025 436 views 2:31India may be the world’s fastest-growing aviation market, but a new parliamentary report raises grave safety concerns. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) is operating with nearly half its posts vacant, while air traffic controllers are stretched dangerously thin. Lawmakers warn that these staffing shortages could put millions of passengers at risk. The warning follows the tragic Air India Dreamliner crash in June that killed 260 people, raising urgent questions about aviation safety oversight in the country.
