India’s aviation sector is not facing isolated incidents. It is unravelling in real time—and the government is still selling brochures about “world-class infrastructure.” Planes are colliding on the ground. Engines are cutting out mid-air. Senior politicians are dying in crashes. And every time, the response is the same: blame the weather, issue statements, move on. This isn’t misfortune. This is institutional decay—protected by silence from the top.

🧨 THE FAILURE PATTERN WE’RE NOT ALLOWED TO CALL A CRISIS

1️⃣ Taxiing Isn’t Even Safe Anymore
Two aircraft collided on the ground while taxiing—with passengers onboard. No storms. No take-off stress. Just a basic operational failure at the most controlled phase of flight. If planes can’t avoid each other at walking speed, what exactly is being “world-classed” here?

2️⃣ A deputy cm Died. The System Walked Away.
A sitting deputy chief minister died in an air crash. The reflex response? “Poor visibility.” As if weather alone flies planes, clears runways, manages ATC, and enforces safety audits. Visibility didn’t fail—systems did.

3️⃣ red Flags at 30,000 Feet
On a recent London–Bengaluru flight, the flight crew reportedly noticed abnormal behaviour in the left engine’s fuel control switch during engine start. That’s not a minor glitch. That’s the kind of warning pilots write reports about—and bureaucracies quietly bury.

4️⃣ The Dreamliner Disaster No One Wants to Confront
The Ahmedabad–London Dreamliner crash that killed 260+ people reportedly involved engines losing fuel seconds after take-off. Seconds. At the most unforgiving phase of flight. This isn’t “bad luck.” This is what happens when maintenance, oversight, and enforcement rot together.

5️⃣ Every Incident, Same Excuse Playbook
Weather. Visibility. Pilot error. One-off event.
What’s never blamed? Regulators. Audits. Training standards. Political pressure to cut corners.

6️⃣ Where Is the Aviation Minister?
Ram Mohan Naidu—invisible. Incompetent. Silent. No ownership. No accountability. No resignation. Just staged photos and carefully worded evasions while passengers become statistics.

7️⃣ Safety Held Hostage by Coalition Arithmetic
By shielding a failed Aviation minister because the government depends on Telugu Desam Party support, Narendra Modi appears to have made a choice: coalition survival over passenger safety. In effect, lives are being balanced against numbers in Parliament.

8️⃣ This Is What Collapse Looks Like—Before the Headline Disaster
Systems don’t fail overnight. They fray. Warnings pile up. Near-misses multiply. Accountability disappears. And then comes the crash everyone claims was “unavoidable.”

🧯 THE BOTTOM LINE:

India’s aviation crisis isn’t about technology or ambition.
It’s about governance.
It’s about refusing to take responsibility until tragedy forces it.

When planes collide on the ground, engines lose fuel in the air, and ministers remain untouchable, one truth becomes unavoidable:
This isn’t a world-class system. It’s a high-altitude gamble—and passengers are the chips.
