The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) will examine the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA’s) order rescinding the ban on Boeing 737 MAX aircraft and will take appropriate action on the issue.
“We will study the order. There are safety issues involved. We will take appropriate call in the matter after an examination,” Director General of Civil Aviation Arun Kumar said on Wednesday.
On Wednesday, FAA Administrator Steve Dickson signed an order that paves the way for Boeing 737 MAX to return to commercial service.
SpiceJet is the only Boeing 737 MAX operator in India, with 13 aircraft of the type in its fleet and a total of 205 planes on order. The 737 MAX aircraft have been grounded globally after 346 passengers perished in twin air crashes in 2018 and 2019.
