India's Aviation Troubles | After Pawar Crash, Air Ambulance Crashes In Jharkhand, Killing 7 |Barkha

#plane #jharkhand #crash In today’s episode of Bottomline with Barkha, we confront the hard questions on aviation safety in India: how many tragedies will it take before accountability reaches the top of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA)? The devastating Jharkhand air ambulance crash, where a critical medical evacuation ended in the loss of every life on board, has once again spotlighted urgent concerns around emergency flight routing, weather monitoring, airworthiness checks, and regulatory oversight. When a life-saving mission turns fatal, it raises deeper questions about aviation safety protocols, compliance audits, and crisis response systems in India’s rapidly expanding aviation sector. This tragedy also comes amid a troubling pattern of recent aviation incidents, including the Baramati crash involving Ajit Pawar and the earlier Air India Flight 171 disaster—events that have triggered national debate on pilot training standards, aircraft maintenance, DGCA regulation, and aviation safety transparency. Are systemic failures being overlooked? Are investigations too quick to assign pilot error instead of examining institutional lapses and safety governance? With public trust in Indian aviation under scrutiny, this episode breaks down DGCA accountability, aviation safety lapses, air ambulance regulations, and the urgent need for stronger oversight in Indian skies. Is India’s aviation safety framework equipped to handle emergencies, or are regulatory gaps putting lives at risk? Barkha Dutt speaks to, Capt. Sharath Panicker, Capt. Ajay Ahlawat, Capt. Sam Thomas
