Budget carrier SpiceJet said that it rectified the defects and malfunctions identified in ten planes by the DGCA and all these ten aircraft are back in operation. The rectification had been done immediately after the DGCA observation.

“A series of spot checks were carried out recently on all operating aircraft of M/s SpiceJet from 9th July 2022 to 13th July 2022. A total of 53 spot checks were carried out on 48 aircraft which did not find any major significant finding or safety violation,” the aviation ministry told Rajya Sabha in a reply to a question.

The ministry further informed Parliament that DGCA had carried out the regulatory audit of three scheduled airlines, including SpiceJet as per published Annual Surveillance Programme (ASP) 2022.
