Aviation regulator DGCA has suspended the licence of a SpiceJet pilot for six months following an incident where the airline’s flight from Mumbai to Durgapur had faced severe turbulence and resulted in injuries to many passengers in May.
In the incident that happened on May 1, as many as 14 passengers and 3 cabin crew members were injured.
A senior DGCA official on Saturday said the licence of the pilot-in-command of the flight has been suspended for six months due to various violations.
Among others, the pilot could have dealt with the bad weather situation in a better manner, the official said.
