Past Directorate General of Civil Aviation Scrutiny Resurfaces Amid Fresh Crash Row
VSR: Serious questions have been raised about VSR Ventures following the plane crashes. Following the recent Baramati airstrip accident and the earlier 2023 Mumbai accident, EASA suspended the company's TCO permission, while the final investigation report is still pending. Let's explore the details.
Questions about the aviation company VSR Ventures Private Limited have been raised in connection with the fatal plane crash near the Baramati airstrip. In the accident, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar and four others lost their lives. His younger son, Jay Pawar, has demanded a thorough inquiry into the serious lapses that led to the accident and also demanded a ban on the company.
Jay Pawar explained that the black box of an aircraft is difficult to destroy, and therefore, it is essential to examine its condition and details. Jay Pawar emphasized the need for a transparent and impartial inquiry into the whole case.
In fact, VSR Ventures has faced safety issues in the past. According to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), on September 14, 2023, a Learjet 45 aircraft operated by VSR Ventures crashed at Mumbai Airport. The aircraft, flying from Visakhapatnam to Mumbai, veered sharply to the right during landing on Runway 27 and crash-landed on the runway shoulder near the junction of Taxiways West and North.
