In the wake of the back-to-back reports of aviation incidents, an IndiGo spokesperson said the airline has not seen any malfunction in the last few days. Among a spate of incidents reported in SpiceJet flights, smoke inside the cabin on a Raipur-Indore flight was reported which the airline dismissed. “Seems vested interests of some folks to spread fake news around this creating confusion and inconvenience for customers! Have to say poor spirit of sportsmanship. Competition is healthy when it’s won on merit,” the spokesperson tweeted.<\/p>\n
Jet Airways CEO Sanjiv Kapoor on Thursday expressed surprise over the aviation reports and said an astounding number of ‘uninformed drivel’ is there on social media. “The amount of uninformed drivel I have seen on social media last 24 hours on matters relating to aviation safety and glitches, is astounding. Genuine issues and non-issues conflated and given equal coverage. Folks, please seek out informed, expert opinions. Don’t go by hearsay,” he tweeted.<\/p>\n
