IndiGo is once again under scrutiny after an aircraft landed with visible damage to its nose cone. The image of the cracked radome raised widespread concern but reveals a deeper issue. In recent months, IndiGo has experienced several high-profile incidents, including turbulence, technical problems, and emergency landings. Is this just a streak of bad luck, or is there more to it?
As India’s largest airline, operating over 2,000 flights daily, the likelihood of in-flight incidents naturally rises. However, critics question whether IndiGo is overextending its fleet and why it continues to invest heavily in Airbus A320-family jets—the very model often involved in these events.
This video explores the real risks behind the alarming images, explains the science of turbulence, and examines why IndiGo is aggressively expanding with the same aircraft type. Is it a matter of perception over safety, or is the airline managing things correctly?
Let’s dive into the turbulence surrounding India’s leading airline.
