Spicejet aircraft in yet another 'autopilot' snag, DGCA issues notice - The Daily Guardian https://latest.thedailyguardian.com/others/spicejet-aircraft-in-yet-another-autopilot-snag-dgca-issues-notice/ https://latest.thedailyguardian.com/others/spicejet-aircraft-in-yet-another-autopilot-snag-dgca-issues-notice/ September 1, 2022, 10:23 am An official said that on Thursday morning, a SpiceJet flight headed for Nashik made a loop back to Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport because of an “autopilot” issue. At 6.54 a.m., Delhi-bound SpiceJet flight SG 8363 took off and arrived back an hour later.

All the passengers were safely shifted to a smaller Q400 aircraft soon after the Boeing 737 landed harmless.

“SpiceJet B737 aircraft VT-SLP, operating flight SG-8363 (Delhi-Nashik) on Thursday, was involved in an air turnback due to an autopilot snag,” a DGCA official was quoted as saying.

After a string of accidents involving SpiceJet aircraft, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) gave the airline a show-cause notice. The airline announced on Wednesday that its net loss for the June quarter increased to 789 crore.
