NEW DELHI: SpiceJet is no longer under the “enhanced surveillance” of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). The regulator in Tuesday said the airline is being taken off that list after 51 spot checks of 23 aircraft, both Boeing 737 and Q400, did not reveal anything “significant” barring “routine nature” findings.
The airline was under the scanner since June 22, 2023, just over a month. While it may no longer be under the regulatory scanner, SpiceJet urgently requires significant fund infusion.
“In view of observations made in the past concerning inadequate maintenance and in view of the incidents during monsoon last year, SpiceJet was placed under enhanced surveillance by DGCA.
