India’s aviation ministry reported 352 significant flight-operation defects through June, led by Akasa Air. DGCA issued 382 safety-violation notices since January 2024 and took 51 major enforcement actions during 2023-25, following expanded post-crash airport surveillance.

Why this matters

The tally reinforces a recent signal that Akasa Air leads India’s technical-defect reports as DGCA tightens oversight. It also comes ahead of Akasa’s planned consolidation of Mumbai flights at CSMIA Terminal 2 from August 1, 2026.
