SpiceJet gets notice over flight safety, says will be ‘doubly careful’
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Wednesday issued a show-cause notice to SpiceJet for its failure to establish ‘safe, efficient and reliable services’. The regulator has given SpiceJet three weeks to explain why action should not be taken against the airline.
SpiceJet has denied any violations on its part and said it is committed to safe operations.
The notice comes after the airline suffered three snags within a span of 24 hours – a flight diversion to Karachi due to fuel indicator malfunction, a cracked windshield, and a glitch in the weather radar that forced a turn back (aircraft returning to its departing station).
