Aviation watchdog DGCA on Thursday decided to place crisis-hit SpiceJet under heightened surveillance that will involve increased random checks and night surveillance to ensure the safety of the airline’s operations.
Based on reports of flight cancellations and financial stress faced by SpiceJet, the DGCA said it conducted a special audit of the airline’s engineering facilities on August 7 and 8 and certain deficiencies were found during the audit.
“In light of the background and special audit conducted in August 2024, SpiceJet has been placed under enhanced surveillance again with immediate effect.
“This would imply an increase in the number of random checks/night surveillance in order to ensure the safety of operations,” the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGAC) said in a statement.
