After Dog Found On Runway, DGCA Rejected GoAir Flight On Leh-Delhi Route
New Delhi: Aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Tuesday said the take-off for GoAir aircraft VT-WJJ which was operating flight G8-226 on Leh-Delhi route was rejected after a dog was found on the runway. The latest incident comes after 2 other GoAir flights suffered engine trouble and were grounded earlier in the day.
DGCA clarifies, one GoAir flight from Mumbai to Leh was on Tuesday diverted to Delhi after a fault in its second engine was detected. And another GoAir flight Srinagar bound for Delhi turned back to Srinagar after a similar problem was found in the engine.
The development comes after the aviation regulator had on Monday warned airlines about ‘increased engineering related occurrences’ .
After several incidents of tech snags were reported, the DGCA conducted spot checks and advised that all aircraft at base and transit stations shall be released by certifying staff holding licence with appropriate authorisation by their organisation.
