DGCA to probe mid-air wedding celebrations on-board SpiceJet chartered flight

NEW DELHI: The crew of a chartered flight, operated by no-frills airline SpiceJet Limited, was de-rostered by civil aviation regulator, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), after passengers aboard the flight violated social distancing norms following mid-air wedding celebrations.

The DGCA has also sought a report from the airline and directed it to lodge complaints against the passengers who were on board the flight with relevant authorities, a senior official with the regulator said, requesting anonymity.

“We will look into this and take strict actions against those violating the law,” the official added.
