Directorate General of Civil Aviation has sought corrective action from Air India after an operational lapse involving deployment of the wrong aircraft on the Delhi–Vancouver route. The regulator has taken note of the issue and asked the airline to review its procedures.
The incident reportedly led to disruptions in planned operations, raising concerns over scheduling accuracy and passenger service standards. Aviation authorities emphasized the importance of strict adherence to operational protocols to avoid such errors.
In response, Air India has assured that necessary steps are being taken to prevent recurrence, including internal reviews and process improvements. The airline is also working on strengthening coordination across its operations and fleet management teams.
The development highlights increased regulatory scrutiny in India’s aviation sector, as authorities push for higher efficiency, safety, and reliability amid rising passenger traffic and expanding international operations.
