A day after aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) issued an order curtailing SpiceJet’s services by half due to multiple incidents involving the carrier’s passenger aircraft in the past two months, another SpiceJet flight, due to depart from Mumbai to Gujarat’s Kandla, on Thursday, had to abort take off on the runway.
A SpiceJet spokesperson, however, said ‘there was no safety scare’.
“A SpiceJet Q400 aircraft scheduled to operate from Mumbai to Kandla was rejected take off owing to illumination of a caution alert. Crew acted as per the standard operating procedure,” the spokesperson said in a statement.
