Spicejet B737

At least 12 passengers and three cabin crew members were injured after the SpiceJet Boeing B737 aircraft, operating from Mumbai to Durgapur, encountered severe turbulence during descent on Sunday following extreme weather conditions.

Low-cost carrier SpiceJet, which is among India's largest airlines, has banked heavily on the Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, having already acquired 13 of them out of a total order of 205 jets.

Low-cost airline SpiceJet is all set to resume Boeing-B-737 Max aircraft from the first week of October after a two-and-a-half-year long ban.

SpiceJet has said that three of its B737 freighter aircraft, which were grounded earlier this month due to a "potential defect", would return to operation today.

Aviation regulator DGCA on Saturday suspended two SpiceJet pilots for a year as their B737 aircraft made a late touchdown at the Mumbai airport overshooting the runway on July 2, sources said.
