After Spicejet And IndiGo, Go First Flights Develop Engine Issues

After air carriers like Spicejet and IndiGo, the recent airline that developed engine issues is a Go First flight. Go First’s two flights, Mumbai-Leh and Srinagar-Delhi reported having developed engine problems and were grounded. The planes can fly back only after DGCA approves of it after taking the civil aviation regulator’s investigation results into consideration. There have been multiple technical issues these days with respect to Indian carriers which is a matter of concern.

Importance Of Passenger Safety

As a failure was discovered in engine number 2 on Tuesday, Go First’s aircraft from Mumbai to Leh was diverted to Delhi, according to DGCA officials. The aircraft’s number 2 engine developed a problem mid-flight on Go First’s Srinagar-Delhi route, forcing it to turn around and return to Srinagar. Jyotiraditya Scindia, the aviation minister, has met with representatives from airlines, his ministry, and the DGCA multiple times over the last three days to maintain safety monitoring. On Wednesday, Mr. Scindia emphasized the importance of passenger safety. The civil aviation regulator noted that it is looking into the situation and that only once DGCA has given the all-clear can planes take off.

DGCA Conducted Spot Checks

Every error that endangers passenger safety, according to the Union Minister, will be carefully examined and corrected. The DGCA claimed on Monday that it had undertaken spot inspections and discovered that not enough engineers were approving the readiness of various carriers’ aircraft before takeoff. An airplane maintenance engineer inspects and certifies each aircraft before takeoff (AME). Airlines must now abide by DGCA-issued rules on the deployment of qualified AME employees by July 28. The DGCA order noted that as a result of the spot checks, the AME teams of airlines were incorrectly identifying the “cause of a stated fault.”
