The aircraft involved are SpiceJet and Air India Express. Half the incidents occurred in wet weather, for which airlines have to ensure their pilots undergo specific training.
Vistara, the Singapore Airlines-Tata venture, that operates in one of the world’s most expensive aviation markets is all set to begin its international flights operation.
It doesn’t matter now who would’ve won the single engine fighter contract. What matters is the difficult road ahead, and that’s why the F-35 makes sense.
The IAF is not fundamentally opposed to theatre command or an empowered CDS. There needs to be better understanding between the three services.

Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
Capable of being fired in plain and high-altitude areas, it has day-and-night capability and two-way data link to support post-launch target, aim-point update.
As Narendra Modi becomes India’s second-longest consecutively serving Prime Minister, we look at how he compares with Indira Gandhi across four key dimensions.
Its a serious issue in which DGCA should take some immediate action / remedial steps, its seems like while monsoon aerodrome safety teams are not performing sufficient checks on runways (Friction test, Rubber removal need to perform specially while monsoon to avoid accidental slips of AC) only blaming pilots is not enough ground safety team should maintain movement area’s adequately. Another factor is B7378 AC as we all know this AC landing speed is high compare to Airbus due its aerodynamic shape so there should be a advisory that while monsoon specially pilot should try to land as smooth as possible at the same time ATC should provide pilot with RW condition before landing while raining. Weight the carry should be as per standards regular maintenance / check of AC tires and breaking systems should be done while and before monsoon seasons.
Also to note down that almost every incident or accident happened with a Boeing 737-800. Can it be because of less training of the pilots in the Boeing cockpit or are these just planes fault? Also why Spicejet hires less trained pilots?
Skill is more important for any job. For good skill the pilot should enjoy his job. This job is not only for rich people. People without financial background is also having real passion to do the job. Government and airline companies should provide them free training or cadet pilot program free of cost like emirates, qatar and other reputed airlines do. Other than AirForce pilot option as free for good pilots government should provide few seats for free training by government to the citizens. If good passionate pilot enters to the field other than rich people or aviation background pilots it ll also benefit a lot.
I just returned from India and traveled with Go India, Spice Jet and Air India for ten days. Every time we landed I felt like the aircraft was all over the runway. The landing took place on dry days not wet. My thought was poor training in landing. I’ve never experienced such landings and I’ve flown many small airlines. They really need to look at this.
Nowhere in all this discussion is there any mention of ATC and their role in warning pilots to factor in runway conditions when arriving at their touch down speed and braking power. The incident is such a complex mix of factors that to summarily blame the pilots is convenient but unfair.
Maybe the runways in areas affected by monsoon rains should have grooved concrete surfaces if they are still tarmac, might help in the evacuation of standing water
Interesting that all these “experts” have nothing to say about a pilot’s unforgiving schedule. Flying multiple flights with bare minimum rest periods in a day, how can they be expected to perform with machine – like precision in bad weather???
The civil aviation market has been growing strongly in India. It needs to be supported and kept safe by better trained pilots. Air traffic controllers is another focus area.
