NEW DELHI: The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Monday said that it had found “no significant concern” from its review of Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft plying with Indian airlines, but issued several supplementary safety conditions which airlines have to meet to continue operating the aircraft.
The DGCA’s circular comes in the wake of several airlines, and China, ordering the grounding of the model which was involved in the recent Ethiopian Airlines crash.
This was the second time a Boeing 737 MAX 8 had crashed in less than six months. Following this, Civil Aviation Administration of China ordered that all domestic Boeing 737 MAX 8 planes be grounded, followed by Indonesia. Ethiopian Airlines and Cayman Airways also said they have grounded similar Boeing Jets.
