India's aviation boom faces turbulence amid safety concerns

India's aviation industry, once seen as a symbol of national growth under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is currently experiencing significant challenges. Safety concerns have emerged following incidents involving major carriers like Air India and IndiGo, including a recent mid-air plunge of an Air India flight and past crashes. These issues highlight weaknesses in safety protocols and regulatory oversight within the sector. Financial pressures are also impacting airlines, exacerbated by geopolitical tensions such as the closure of Pakistani airspace and increased jet fuel costs due to regional conflicts. The combined effect of these factors has led to substantial financial losses for airlines, influencing their expansion strategies and operational decisions.
