LEAKED: Air India Safety Scandal – Flying Passengers with EXPIRED Certificates

In this episode, we expose a serious safety violation at Air India involving the operation of an Airbus A320 (VT-TQN) without a valid Airworthiness Review Certificate (ARC). Based on leaked internal investigation reports, we break down how an aircraft flew eight revenue flights carrying passengers while illegally undocumented.

In this episode:• The Incident: How VT-TQN operated a test flight and 8 passenger flights in November 2025 despite its safety certificate expiring days earlier.

• The Failure: Why the Engineering team incorrectly informed Flight Ops that the “ARC is valid” and how pilots failed to perform mandatory document checks.

• The Root Cause: A “Swiss Cheese” failure of communication between the ARC Cell, Continuing Airworthiness Manager (CAM), and Engineering Planning.

• The Fallout: The internal scramble to fix “systemic failures” and the disciplinary actions recommended against staff.#AirIndia #AviationSafety #Whistleblower #AviationNews #AirbusA320
