Editor,
To minimize the risk of airplane/helicopter crashes, both passengers and airlines have crucial roles to play. Airlines should focus on preventative measures like robust safety protocols, advanced technology, and rigorous pilot training. Passengers can enhance their safety by paying attention to safety briefings, staying informed about weather conditions, and following crew instructions.
The Air India plane crash in Gujarat on June 12 that killed 265 people, including crew members, has exposed some harsh gaps in aviation safety. Robust training, modern technology, and clear accountability are essential to prevent the next disaster from taking place.
