SpiceJet placed under ‘enhanced surveillance’ with immediate effect, here’s why

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) announced on Thursday that it will place SpiceJet under “enhanced surveillance”, which will involve increased spot checks and night monitoring to ensure the safety of the airline’s operations. This decision comes in response to reports of flight cancellations and financial difficulties faced by the airline. The DGCA conducted a special audit of SpiceJet’s engineering facilities on August 7 and 8, during which certain deficiencies were identified.
