In the wake of multiple incidents of planes overshooting runways, aviation regulator DGCA has grounded 12 pilots. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has served show-cause notices on them after the six recent cases of aircraft veering-off runway, reports PTI. SpiceJet, Air India Express and GoAir have been involved in these incidents in the past few days, prompting DGCA to take action against the 12 pilots.
The action come even as the main runway at Mumbai airport remained shut after a SpiceJet plane from Jaipur veered-off it while landing amidst heavy rains on Monday night and got stuck in the adjacent grass area.
