Air India Crash 'Shocking': Expert Warns Aircrafts Are Like Flying Bombs Loaded With Fuel
Aviation expert Subhash Goyal has called the tragic Air India crash in Ahmedabad 'very shocking,' raising major concerns about aviation safety in India. Goyal, who is the Chairman of the Aviation and Tourism Committee of the Indian Chamber of Commerce, warned that airplanes — especially when fully loaded with fuel — can become 'flying bombs' in case of malfunctions. Stressing that safety checks are standard and stringent in India, he noted that Air India does adhere to all protocols and that the Dreamliner involved in the crash was relatively new and well-equipped with the latest features. His statement comes amid rising scrutiny of Boeing 787 Dreamliners, after whistleblowers raised serious concerns earlier this year. As investigators begin probing what went wrong, experts and global regulators are now calling for a comprehensive review of aircraft manufacturing and maintenance standards.
