It is heartwrecking to witness the death of lives every day that is popping up on the headline. All these incidents are not just as a headline to pass by but a torn apart family or community in the world. It is important to feel the pain of our fellow humans because all those tragedies we are witnessing in many forms can repeat in any part of our world. Amidst all this there is a strong question that might arise within us,
“What’s really going wrong in the skies/airways literally?”
The back to back plane crashes that took place in the year 2025 have forced the aviation industry into immense pressure. Eventually many intolerable rumors and speculations are circulated around the social media. But there are some technical and practical issues which might contribute to these tragic incidents.
– Aging : Reports state that some of the international airlines are operating outdated aircraft which increases the risk of maintenance.
– Fatigue : Packed schedules and the shortage of pilots are forcing the current crews to overwork than usual.
– Climate : Sometimes nature turns against us bringing unpredictable weather that challenges the pilots to navigate further.
– Oversight : Both the smaller or regional carriers are facing weaker safety regulations and audits.
Thus, these catastrophes disclose the cracks in the infrastructure of global aviation.
