DGCA gives SpiceJet show-cause notice over ‘degradation of safety’
Taking strong note of at least eight instances of technical malfunction of SpiceJet flights in the past 18 days, the aviation regulator has issued a show-cause notice to the airline, saying a review has showed “poor internal safety oversight and inadequate maintenance actions” and that it has “failed to establish a safe, efficient and reliable air service”.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has given three weeks’ time to the Ajay Singh-promoted airline in the notice issued on Tuesday, which came close on the heels of three incidents on a single day in which the airline’s planes developed technical issues mid-air.
