CPI MP Binoy Viswam has written to Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia raising concern over the “woeful and dire” safety conditions of airlines following a slew of incidents reported over the last few weeks.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) issued a show-cause notice on Wednesday to SpiceJet after its planes had eight technical malfunctions over the past 18 days.
Like SpiceJet, IndiGo and Vistara also suffered technical malfunction incidents on Tuesday.
Viswam urged the minister to ensure a “comprehensive review” of airlines across the country and that there is no compromise on the safety of passengers.
