NEW DELHI: Aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has temporarily suspended SpiceJet’s licence for the transportation of ‘dangerous goods’ for alleged violations.
Carrying dangerous goods in a manner allegedly not in compliance with how the same should have been flown safely recently saw fumes emanate from the parcel kept in cargo hold of a SpiceJet passenger flight.
Fumes from the package found their way to the passenger cabin and led to flyers complaining of irritation in eyes and coughing, say officials who probed this lapse.
The DGCA after reportedly finding lapses in this case — has asked SpiceJet not to carry dangerous goods for 30 days on any of its flights.
