DGCA puts SpiceJet under ‘enhanced surveillance’ starting June 22

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has put SpiceJet under “enhanced surveillance” starting June 22 as a precautionary measure, officials said on Tuesday.

When asked about this matter, a SpiceJet spokesperson told Business Standard that “no such communication has been received by the airline from the DGCA.”

The airline is under enhanced surveillance, but there has been “no operational impact”, DGCA officials said, adding that this step had been taken as a matter of abundant precaution given the incidents during monsoon season last year.
