Domestic airline SpiceJet can resume its services without any restrictions from next month, India’s aviation regulator said on Friday, announcing that a 50% cap on the number of flights it can operate will be removed from next month.
The airline’s services were capped at half its approved schedule after a string of air safety incidents in the summer, when the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) also put the carrier under enhanced surveillance comprising audits and safety checks.
“The airline is complying with all the directions emanating from audits/checks. Hence, the restrictions on them will not be extended further and they are allowed to operate flights without any restrictions,” Arun Kumar, the director general of DGCA said.
