An Indian domestic flight made an emergency landing in New Delhi on Saturday after its cabin filled with smoke soon after take-off for the central city of Jabalpur, the airline said.
In June, a New Delhi-bound SpiceJet flight with 185 passengers on board made an emergency landing in the eastern Indian city of Patna after an engine caught fire.
In May, hundreds of its passengers were stranded inside their planes after the low-cost airline cancelled or delayed flights due to an"attempted ransomware attack", it said. That same month, Indian aviation authorities imposed a fine of one million Indian rupees on the airline for training its Boeing 737 MAX pilots on a faulty simulator.
Authorities barred 90 SpiceJet pilots from operating that aircraft, saying they were not properly trained, according to local media reports.In times of uncertainty you need journalism you can trust.
