SpiceJet, for the second time in two years, has been placed under “enhanced surveillance” by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation following reports of cancelled flights and financial stress.
Earlier this month the national aviation regulator – acting on reports the carrier had to cancel flights from Dubai over non-payment of dues – conducted a special audit that revealed “certain deficiencies”.
As a result the airline, the DGCA said, “has once again, and with immediate effect, been placed under enhanced surveillance”, explaining this means increased spot checks and/or night-time audits with a view to ensure operational safety.
