The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has placed SpiceJet under enhanced surveillance due to safety concerns. This decision follows a safety audit conducted this month, which highlighted issues such as flight cancellations and financial stress. The enhanced surveillance will involve increased spot checks and night surveillance to ensure the safety of operations. In a related development, DGCA has issued a show-cause notice to Akasa Airlines for regulatory breaches identified in a recent survey. The breaches include completing training sessions without the necessary regulatory approvals, raising concerns about training standards and operational readiness.
