SpiceJet says airplane aborted Mumbai takeoff due to caution alert
A SpiceJet airplane was forced to abort its takeoff on a Mumbai runway on Thursday because of a caution alert, but there was no safety problem, the Indian airline told Reuters.
A SpiceJet Q400 aircraft scheduled to fly from India’s financial hub Mumbai to Kandla in the western state of Gujarat aborted take off “owing to illumination of a caution alert,” the airline said in a statement.
The incident comes a day after India’s aviation regulator ordered SpiceJet to slash its approved fleet by half this summer for eight weeks citing safety snags and said it would put the domestic airline under “enhanced surveillance”.
