Air India plane flies without certificate; DGCA launches probe

Air India has grounded an aircraft and launched an investigation after it operated eight commercial flights with an expired Airworthiness Review Certificate. The lapse occurred during the Vistara-Air India merger transition, with the 70th aircraft's renewal delayed due to an engine change. Personnel involved have been de-rostered pending the outcome of the probe.
