While as many as 12 countries have so far grounded Boeing 737 Max aircraft after one such plane belonging to Ethiopian Airlines crashed on Sunday leading to concerns about passenger safety, the Indian aviation regulator, Directorate General of Civil Aviation, seems to be in a wait-and-watch mode.
Though it tightened certain norms on Monday, it is still discussing the matter with the regulators of other countries and waiting for the cue from the US Federal Aviation Administration.
In India, SpiceJet and Jet Airways fly Boeing 737 Max but at the moment the five aircraft of Jet is grounded due to non-payment issues. SpiceJet has 12 such aircraft which are flying.
