Jet Airways is the only other Indian carrier which has five Boeing MAX aircraft in its fleet but all these aircraft are grounded at present
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) decided to ground all Boeing MAX aircraft late Tuesday night.
While the decision was being made, some MAX aircraft of SpiceJet were said to be in air. This led to speculation that the aircraft will be grounded once they return to base.
SpiceJet has 13 Boeing 737 MAX 800 aircraft of which 12 are operational. SpiceJet and DGCA officials did not respond to phone calls to get clarity on the matter.
