Aviation regulator removes SpiceJet from enhanced surveillance regime

India’s aviation regulator has removed SpiceJet from its so-called enhanced surveillance, saying the no-frills airline had taken “suitable maintenance action”.

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) conducted 51 checks in 11 places in India on the airline’s fleet, which includes Boeing 737 and Bombardier DHC Q-400 aeroplanes.

“…a total 23 aircraft were inspected and 95 observations were made by the DGCA teams. The findings were of routine nature and were not considered significant by DGCA,” it said.
