9th Incident In 24 Days
New Delhi: A SpiceJet Boeing 737 aircraft was grounded on Monday as a precautionary measure due to problems with its nose wheel after a flight from Mangaluru to Dubai. The flight was later permitted to operate. The airline also sent an alternate aircraft to Dubai.
A SpiceJet spokesperson said, ‘On July 11, 2022, SpiceJet flight SG23 operating from Dubai to Madurai was delayed due to a last minute technical issue. Alternate aircraft was arranged immediately which brought passengers back to India. Flight delays can happen with any airline. There has been no incident or a safety scare on this flight. After the minor technical issue was resolved, the first aircraft flew back to India as a commercial flight.’
A DGCA official later further informed that the issue may have been due to depletion of nitrogen used in the oleo strut or internal seal damage. The exact reason would be ascertained based on the investigation of the landing gear (part). The regulator had last week issued a show cause notice to the airline over several snags in past few weeks.
