DGCA show cause notice to SpiceJet following spate of aircraft incidents
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation has issued a show cause notice to SpiceJet for poor internal safety oversight and inadequate maintenance actions.
The civil aviation regulator issued the show cause notice on Wednesday following a spate of incidents. On Tuesday alone there were three incidents including a diversion to Karachi, windshield crack and an air turn back (aircraft returning to departing station) because of a faulty weather radar.
The regulator which reviewed occurrences since April 1 said in its notice that SpiceJet has “failed to establish safe, efficient and reliable air services” as per norms and has been asked to explain in three weeks why no action should be taken against it.
