SpiceJet faces enhanced surveillance by DGCA; airline strongly denies claims
India’s aviation watchdog, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), has reportedly placed SpiceJet under “enhanced surveillance” due to the budget airline’s recent financial difficulties, according to a senior official. The surveillance has been ongoing for more than three weeks and involves increased night surveillance and spot checks to ensure that financial issues do not compromise flight operations or safety standards.
The DGCA aims to verify that safety obligations are being met. However, SpiceJet has refuted these claims, stating that no communication regarding enhanced surveillance has been received from the DGCA.
