A year on, with the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau\u2019s final report still awaited, a new nationwide survey by LocalCircles shows that the tragedy has left a lasting imprint on how Indians fly: 3 in 10 airline travellers say they now check the aircraft type before booking or travelling, and a similar proportion believe airlines have been cutting corners on safety.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The intervening year has given fliers little reason to relax. In February 2026, another Air India Boeing 787\u2019s fuel control switch reportedly moved to \u2018CUTOFF\u2019 twice during engine start-up at Heathrow \u2013 an unsettling echo of the AI171 preliminary findings \u2013 while a SpiceJet Delhi-Leh flight returned with an engine snag and an IndiGo aircraft clipped an Air India plane while taxiing at Mumbai. In April, a SpiceJet aircraft struck a stationary Akasa Air plane at Delhi\u2019s Terminal 1. May brought an emergency slide evacuation of an IndiGo flight in Chandigarh after a power bank fire, and a full emergency at Delhi airport after an engine fire warning on an Air India flight from Bengaluru. The DGCA\u2019s own audit of 754 commercial aircraft found 377 \u2013 exactly half \u2013 with recurring technical defects.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It is against this backdrop that LocalCircles surveyed airline fliers to gauge perceptions on air safety. The survey received over 85,000 responses from airline fliers located across 312 districts of India.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>3 in 10 fliers say airlines have often been cutting corners on safety protocols<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The survey first asked airline fliers, \u201cIn your or your family\u2019s experience of flying on India based airlines in the last 3 years, how did you\/they find the adherence of airlines to flight safety protocols?\u201d Of the 31,070 who responded, only 16% said they found adherence to safety protocols \u201calways perfect\u201d; 52% found it \u201cmostly fine, but there have been some exceptions\u201d; and 32% said airlines \u201calways are generally cutting corners\u201d. In effect, 3 in 10 fliers of India based airlines surveyed say they have often found airlines cutting corners on safety protocols in the last 3 years.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>5 in 10 avoid SpiceJet, 2 in 10 avoid Air India due to safety concerns<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Perception translates directly into booking behaviour. Asked \u201cDue to safety reasons what all India based airlines you generally avoid when making a flight booking for yourself or family?\u201d, some among the 28,813 respondents selected more than one airline: 55% indicated SpiceJet; 24% indicated Air India; 13% indicated IndiGo; 13% indicated Akasa; 31% said they \u201cdon\u2019t avoid any particular airlines\u201d; and 3% did not give a clear answer. To sum up, 5 in 10 fliers surveyed avoid flying SpiceJet while 2 in 10 avoid Air India due to safety reasons.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>3 in 10 fliers are checking aircraft type before booking or travelling<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The survey then asked, \u201cThese days when you plan air travel, what all do you look at before booking\/travelling?\u201d Among 25,223 respondents, many of whom indicated multiple factors, 93% said \u201cair fare\u201d dictates their travel plans; 79% indicated \u201cflight timings\u201d; 51% indicated \u201cairline\u201d; 47% indicated \u201cflight connection and duration\u201d; 29% indicated \u201caircraft type\u201d; 7% indicated other parameters; 4% did not give a clear answer; and 7% said they have not booked any air travel lately. Notably, with 51% choosing on the basis of airline, carrier reputation now outweighs fare alone for a majority \u2013 and 3 in 10 fliers checking aircraft type is a behaviour that was rare before June 2025.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Travellers want DGCA and airlines to do more<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The findings indicate that a year after Ahmedabad, safety has become a durable factor in Indian air travel decisions, not a passing anxiety. While DGCA has intensified surveillance \u2013 conducting 12 regulatory and 29 special audits in the first months of 2026, against 56 regulatory and 9 special audits in all of 2025 \u2013 the continued snags, ground collisions and emergency landings between February and June 2026 suggest the corrective journey is far from complete. LocalCircles believes the regulator must ensure time-bound publication of investigation findings, starting with the AI171 final report, and hold airlines accountable for recurring defects, while airlines must invest in maintenance, training and transparent communication. LocalCircles plans to share the results of this study with DGCA and the Ministry of Civil Aviation so that the concerns of air travellers are addressed properly.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Survey Demographics<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The survey received over 85,000 responses from airline fliers located across 312 districts of India. 61% respondents were men while 39% respondents were women. 45% respondents were from tier 1, 30% from tier 2 and 25% respondents were from tier 3, 4 &amp; 5 districts. The survey was conducted via LocalCircles platform, and all participants were validated citizens who had to be registered with LocalCircles to participate in this survey.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>About LocalCircles<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">LocalCircles, India\u2019s leading Community Social Media platform enables citizens and small businesses to escalate issues for policy and enforcement interventions and enables the Government to make policies that are citizen and small business centric.
