Madurai couple’s mid-air wedding: DGCA derosters SpiceJet crew after viral video
India’s aviation regulator has asked for a report and the crew of the SpiceJet flight has been taken off duty for an investigation following a mid-air wedding on board a SpiceJet chartered flight with guests violating coronavirus social distancing norms.
A top official of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has said that the flight crew has been off-rostered for not enforcing the social distancing norms on board.
The Madurai district administration has also launched a probe into the matter and warned of appropriate action if any Covid-19 violations were found. The chartered flight, with 160 people on board, left the Madurai airport on the morning of May 23 and remained airborne for approximately two hours.
