New Delhi:
Taking note of the recent incidences of technical malfunctions in SpiceJet flights, Union Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on Wednesday asserted that passenger safety was paramount.
The Union Minister said that even a small error hindering passenger safety will be thoroughly investigated and course-corrected
“Passenger safety is paramount. Even the smallest error hindering safety will be thoroughly investigated & course-corrected,” Mr Scindia tweeted.
This came after the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, or DGCA, issued a show-cause notice to the airline.
“The review (of incidents) transpires that poor internal safety oversight and inadequate maintenance actions (as most of the incidents are related to either component failure or system-related failure) have resulted in degradation of the safety margins,” the notice said.
The private carrier has seen eight reported incidents of malfunctions in the last three weeks — none caused serious harm to crew or passengers, though.
