NEW DELHI: The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has issued a show-cause notice to SpiceJet, asking the carrier to explain why action should not be taken against it for failing “to establish safe, efficient and reliable air services”.
“The reported incidents on aircraft operated by SpiceJet from April 1, 2022, till date have been reviewed. It has been observed that on number of occasions, the aircraft either turned back to its originating station or continued landing to the destination with degraded safety margins.
“(This shows) poor internal safety oversight and inadequate maintenance actions as most of the incidents are related to either component failure or system related failure (resulting) in degradation of the safety margins,” the damning notice said.
