The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has ordered a probe in which fuselage door warnings lit up on two separate Spicejet planes while taking off on Friday and Saturday, forcing the aircraft to abandon their journeys and return. There have been a total of four incidents — including the aforementioned two — on SpiceJet flights during the last week. According to DGCA officials, the regulator is probing all four incidents.
The fuselage is the central body of the aircraft where passengers and crew members sit. On June 19, an engine on SpiceJet’s Delhi-bound aircraft carrying 185 passengers caught fire soon after taking off from the Patna airport and the plane made an emergency landing minutes later. The engine malfunctioned because of a bird hit.
