Trouble of passengers
Domestic and international passengers are facing problems due to the sudden cancellation of flights. Air India is offering re-booking and refund facilities to its passengers. While the cancellation of four flights in Amritsar, there is resentment among passengers, the AI171 accident has created widespread confusion over air security in the country.
DGCA’s readiness and international cooperation has accelerated the investigation process, but aspects such as pilots training, maintenance structure, and black-box analysis still remain spotted.
