Incidents talked about trivial, doesn’t mean any airline is unsafe: SpiceJet MD

SpiceJet managing director Ajay Singh on Wednesday said mid-air incidents involving three flights yesterday were ‘trivial’ and happened on a ‘daily basis’, and emphasised that they do not affect the airline’s safety.

“SpiceJet (has been) running a safe airline for 15 years. (The) kind of incidents being talked about are trivial and happen on a daily basis in (all) airlines,” he was quoted by news agency ANI. Singh also said at least 30 such incidents take place daily across all airlines.

“But one or two incidents of SpiceJet being highlighted in the media, that is not okay… doesn’t mean any airline is unsafe,” Singh said.
