A SpiceJet airplane on Thursday had to abort its takeoff on a Mumbai runway due to a caution alert, but there was no safety scare, the Indian airline told Reuters in a statement.
A SpiceJet Q400 aircraft scheduled to operate from financial capital Mumbai to Kandla in western state of Gujarat aborted take off "owing to illumination of a caution alert," the airline said.
"The aircraft stopped well within the runway length available. Crew acted as per the SOP. There was no safety scare," the statement added.
The incident comes just a day after the Director General of Civil Aviation ordered SpiceJet to slash its approved fleet to 50 per cent this summer for eight weeks citing safety snags and said it will subject the domestic airline to "enhanced surveillance".
