Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on Tuesday flew on SpiceJet NSE -0.47 %’s special flight between Delhi and Gwalior using Boeing’s 737 Max plane that has been allowed to return to service after two and half years. All Max planes were grounded in India by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on March 13, 2019, three days after the crash of an Ethiopian Airlines 737 Max plane near Addis Ababa, which had left 157 people, including four Indians, dead.
Along with Scindia, SpiceJet CMD Ajay Singh and Boeing India President Salil Gupte were also present on the special flight on Tuesday.
