Briefing
The airline's finding that "systemic failures" permitted eight passenger flights on an expired airworthiness certificate triggered the regulator to ground the jet and open a formal probe, creating immediate operational and compliance risk for the carrier (see the DGCA grounding and probe).
The incident comes amid heightened scrutiny of A320-family airworthiness and software issues, including recent ELAC‑2 software directives and an EASA emergency patch, increasing regulatory pressure and potential maintenance burdens for operators.
