An aircraft may ‘continue to be used for air operation subject to compliance’ to rules and regulations, Arun Kumar, the chief of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, said Thursday, a day after the national watchdog cut SpiceJet’s summer schedule by half based on findings from its ‘spot checks… inspections’.
The DGCA chief played down the ‘hullabaloo over recent events surrounding our airlines’ and said every aviation industry dealt with minor issues.
“Hullabaloo over recent events concerning our airlines is unfortunate. An aircraft is a complex machine and has many components… it may continue to be used for air operation subject to compliance of airworthiness requirements.”
