NEW DELHI: A day after SpiceJet was ordered to function half of its accepted schedule, its Mumbai-Kandla flight aborted take off at Mumbai on Thursday after getting a warning alert. The plane safely returned to the bay and the Directorate Common of Civil Aviation (DGCA) is inspecting the problem.
“A Q400 plane scheduled to function from Mumbai to Kandla rejected take off owing to illumination of a warning alert. Crew acted as per the usual working process. There was no security scare. The plane returned to the bay and all passengers and crew safely deboarded,” stated an airline spokesperson.
After analysing a spate of incidents that occurred on SpiceJet fights over a month again, the DGCA in an interim order on Wednesday had requested the airline to function a truncated schedule — half of the allowed fights — this summer time and that too below ‘enhanced surveillance.’ The cash-strapped airline will likely be allowed to scale up operations solely after proving that it has ‘ample, technical assist and monetary useful resource to soundly and effectively undertake such enhanced capability.’
SpiceJet anyway has been working about 300 flights day by day prior to now few weeks which is half of the accepted weekly 4,100-odd flights. So this order might don’t have any impression on the airline’s operation other than SpiceJet planes being continued to be subjected to stricter checks.
SpiceJet stated all its flights departed on time as per schedule Thursday morning. “There have been no flight cancellations. There was completely no impression on our schedule following Wednesday’s order by the regulator. This has been doable as SpiceJet, like different airways, had already rescheduled its flight operations as a result of present lean journey season. We want to as soon as once more reassure our passengers and journey companions that our flights will function as per schedule within the coming days and weeks. SpiceJet is assured of scaling up its operations and addressing any concern the regulator might have on precedence,” the airline stated in a press release.
