Thousands of people avail flight services every day in India to cut short on their time of travelling. It indeed is a quicker and hassle-free mode of travelling. But while flying, the issue of safety pops up primarily, which should be taken care of initially, by the airlines and then the Airport Authorities of India (AAI).
Now in light of the recent and frequent incidents, fingers are being pointed at the AAI along with the airlines in India. Should not they be on their toes when it comes to passenger safety before and after a flight?
Two incidents on a single day have rocked the authorities. These air safety incidents could have been worse but somehow the danger was averted leaving only few people injured. A Jet Airways flight from Goa to Mumbai went off the runway at the Dabolim Airport on Tuesday. A number of people were injured and no other causalities were reported. But the passengers who were travelling in that particular flight were left petrified after the incident and quite rightly so.
In the other one, an Indigo and a SpiceJet aircrafts came face-to-face but somehow the mishap was averted.
The questions that will arise after going through the above mentioned issues – Why are these incidents at all happening? Who will come forward and take the onus on their shoulders?
Let us go through some of the reasons which might be leading to these uncalled for accidents:
Air safety incidents hit 280 till August in the current calendar year surpassing 2015’s 275. By now it has surely crossed 300. The situation needs to improve and there is no other way about it. Till all you passengers – Fly Safe!
