DGCA asks for key details from SpiceJet

Aviation authorities have finally woken up to the plight of scores of passengers, who are supposed to fly SpiceJet but are informed at the last minute that their flights have been cancelled.

The directorate general of civil aviation (DGCA) asked the airline on Monday to come clean on its exact status — in terms of how many Boeing 737 is it actually flying, number of pilots on its rolls and how many have quit; its financial position and finally the actual number of flights it is operating these days.

"They have to submit these details by Tuesday morning to the DGCA after which we will decide what course of action to adopt for the airline. While we do not want to act as a catalyst for any airline's collapse, we also can't let passengers suffer," said a senior officer.
